This assessment evaluates six M&A dimensions: financial quality (audited accounts, clean MIS, sustainable EBITDA margin, working capital adequacy), legal structure (clean corporate structure, no disputes, compliant shareholding), business operations (documented processes, no single-person dependency, repeatable systems), customer and revenue quality (concentration risk, contract terms, renewal rates), intellectual property and intangibles (brand, proprietary processes, technology, customer relationships), and deal readiness (target valuation expectations, preferred deal structure, management continuity post-deal).
Most Indian business owners overestimate their valuation and underestimate the complexity of the M&A process. Deals fail or close at significantly lower valuations due to: undisclosed liabilities discovered in due diligence, key-person dependency that makes the business non-transferable, poor financial records that undermine the buyer's confidence, or unrealistic valuation expectations. This assessment identifies these issues while there is still time to fix them.
Scored across 6 critical dimensions.
Financial quality — audited accounts, MIS, sustainable EBITDA, working capital
Legal and compliance — corporate structure, disputes, shareholding, regulatory status
Operations — documented processes, key-person risk, repeatable systems
Customer and revenue quality — concentration, contracts, retention, predictability
IP and intangibles — brand value, proprietary technology, customer relationships
Deal readiness — valuation expectations, preferred structure, management continuity
Three outcome ranges — each with a clear next action.

2–3 years of preparation needed
Multiple structural gaps will block a deal or result in a significant valuation discount. A structured exit preparation programme over 2–3 years is recommended.
