There is some fundamental information that must be assembled before marketing your business. Following is a checklist:
- Three years’ profit and loss statements – ideally audited; and as current and accurate as possible. If you’re part-way through the current year ensure you have last year’s figures and tax returns, and also year-to-date figures, normally via GST returns.
- List of plant and equipment including the depreciated values
- The lease and lease-related documents
- • Copies of any operations manuals, systems & processes
- A list of the loans against the business (amounts and payment schedule)
- Copies of any equipment leases/rental agreements
- A copy of the franchise agreement, if applicable
- Copies of employment agreements together with job descriptions
- Schedule of staff (employees and/or contractors) including brief summary of their role
- An approximate amount of the inventory on hand, if applicable
- The names of any outside advisors/professionals
