Red flags in due diligence can kill a deal fast. Do you know what to look for? 🚩

Due diligence is the point in a business sale where everything gets scrutinised. And for buyers, it is often where the cracks start to show. Missing financials, undisclosed liabilities, unclear contracts and over-reliance on the owner are just some of the issues that can slow a deal down or stop it completely.

In this video Rick explains the most common red flags that surface during due diligence, and what business owners can do to get ahead of them before they go to market.

Worth a watch if you are thinking about selling in the next year or two.

Looking to sell your business in 2026? Here is how we approach it. 🤝

No two business sales are the same. That is why our first step is always to fully understand your goals, your timeline, and what a successful outcome actually looks like for you.

We undertake a comprehensive analysis of your company from operational, financial, and strategic perspectives, so that everything we do from that point is tailored specifically to your needs.

From the very first conversation we will seek to understand:

Your motivations and timeline for sale
Your selling objectives
Your preferred deal structures
Your price expectations
The confidentiality requirements
Your solution and service requirements

If selling still on your radar in 2026, the sooner you start planning the better.

Before you close your company, make sure you are asking the right questions.

The route you take when closing a limited company matters more than most directors realise. Get it wrong and you could face personal liability, lose assets you were entitled to, or miss a better option entirely.

Before you shut the doors, ask yourself:

Is the company solvent?
Do I have personal guarantees in place?
What about HMRC debt?
Could I extract value from the business first?

The answers to these questions will determine the right route for you, and getting advice before you act could make a significant difference to the outcome.

Small business loans and finance. What actually are they? 💼

A lot of business owners assume finance means a straightforward bank loan. In reality there is a much wider range of options available, and the right one depends entirely on what the money is needed for, how quickly it is needed, and the current position of the business.

In this video Ben breaks down what small business loans and finance actually covers, from invoice finance and asset-based lending to cash flow support and growth funding, so you can start thinking about which route might work for you.

A useful watch before you start exploring your options.
