There is absolutely no substitute for being prepared when planning for an exit. Wisteria have assisted a huge array of clients to achieve a successful exit.
It is not good enough to have just good financial results; or to have good product. To optimise the chances of a successful exit a number of components need to come together:
- Strong business plan and story (history, current standing and prospects)
- Selecting the right accounting policies
- Ensuring that your tax position is correct
- Being ready for due diligence

Our approach is to:
- Understand your business and where it is at
- Understand your personal objectives
- Get a feel for the market and who may be a potential acquirer
- Critically review the accounts, processes and policies and plan any necessary required changes.
- Review the current structure and assist with any necessary changes
- Ensure that there is a realistic and robust plan
- Review tax position of shareholders and build strategy around minimising tax exposure.
- Get ready for due diligence – run through our 100 point check list.
Our team is made up of qualified professionals as well as those with real life experience of business.
