DUE DILIGENCE

Offers have been presented and analyzed. You have accepted an offer and a Letter of Intent (LOI) from a qualified buyer.

With Exit Your Way® due diligence preparation we significantly shorten the diligence process, increasing the chance of getting to the finish line.

Due diligence preparation is key because if diligence takes longer than 90 days your chances of completing a deal are reduced by 50%!
