What readiness really looks like when selling or seeking investment

In this episode, we focus on what it really means to be ready for a deal – not just in theory, but in practice.

Host John Howard is joined by two seasoned founders and a corporate finance advisor to explore what it really means to be ready for a transaction process. Together, they dig into the systems, behaviours, and blind spots that shape outcomes – sometimes years before a transaction takes place.

This conversation offers practical advice on getting ahead of the curve, managing risk, and setting your business up for the best possible valuation and process.
