## Why Readiness Matters

1

### Price Protection

Unprepared sellers leave money on the table. Gaps in documentation give buyers leverage to negotiate down.

2

### Timeline Control

Readiness gaps extend timelines by months. Buyers walk when deals drag.

3

### Deal Certainty

Prepared sellers close. The biggest deal killer is surprises during due diligence.
