The preparation timeline that matters

Most owners underestimate how long it takes to prepare a construction business for sale. The items in the list above are not things you can address in the 30 days before you go to market. They require months of advance work. Owners who start early (typically 12 to 24 months before their target sale date) consistently achieve better terms than those who rush.

The free crash course gives you the framework. Seven lessons covering valuation, timing, financial preparation, due diligence, and deal structure. No account required.
