What You Get

Six reasons every Deal Ready
listing is worth your time.

Every certification component is independently verified, not our word, independent experts' sign-off.

CA-Verified Financials

Chartered accountant sign-off on normalised EBITDA. Add-backs verified, personal expenses removed. You read the numbers without questioning them. Someone independent already has.

No more questioning the P&L
Due Diligence in Weeks

A certified data room with pre-indexed documents and pre-answered compliance questions compresses a typical 3โ€“6 month DD process into 2โ€“3 weeks. Faster decisions, lower legal costs, earlier settlement.

~40% reduction in DD time
Independent Business Valuation

Every listing includes a third-party valuation from a registered business valuer, not the seller's estimate, not a broker's opinion. You know what the business is worth before you make an offer.

Registered business valuer
Quality of Earnings Report

A QoE confirms the earnings are sustainable, recurring, and accurately represented. Know before you offer that the EBITDA you're paying a multiple on actually reflects the business going forward.

Earnings independently confirmed
Structured Data Room Access

All financials, contracts, leases, licences, and compliance documents, indexed, classified, and immediately accessible once you sign a Confidentiality Agreement. No chasing documents from vendors or brokers.

Everything in one place
Legal & Compliance Pre-Answered

Every standard legal question your solicitor will raise is documented in advance. Fewer rounds of queries, controlled legal costs, and a cleaner path from offer to settlement.

Your lawyers will thank you
The Difference

Standard listing vs.
Deal Ready certified.

Most listings put the verification burden on you. Deal Ready flips that. The seller has done the work before you arrive.

Standard listing Typical
Financials are management accounts only, unverified
You spend weeks requesting and chasing documents
Price based on seller's estimate, not independent valuation
DD takes 3โ€“6 months and often kills the deal
Personal expenses and one-offs buried in the P&L
Legal queries go back and forth for months
Deal Ready certified Deal Ready Group
CA-verified EBITDA with full normalisation sign-off

Clean P&L with add-backs documented and verified
