Sell Ready · For owners selling in one to three years

What would a buyer pay for your business today?

Buyers check whether a business runs without its owner. We build the systems that prove it does, in 90 days, before you list.

We build it, we don't coach it, and we measure it in days.

The problem

A buyer sees what you stopped noticing.

Buyers now check in diligence whether the business and its systems run without the owner.1

  • 01Every purchase over a few hundred dollars still waits for your text.
  • 02The way the hard jobs get done lives in one tech's head.
  • 03Your biggest customer calls your cell, not the office.
What a buyer checks

Five questions about how the business runs.

  1. 01Who makes decisions when you're gone. Buyers want a written approval ladder.
  2. 02Whether the work is documented. Buyers ask for SOPs in diligence.
  3. 03Whether the numbers exist without you. Buyers want a KPI report your team produces.
  4. 04Whether customers reach the business, not you.
  5. 05Whether your top customers stay after you leave.

Between 60% and 90% of sellers start with less than a year of exit planning.2 The ones who start earlier have more to show a buyer.

How Buyer Ready works

Four steps. 90 days for the build.

1

The Vacation Audit

Two weeks. 30 days of your calendar, inbox and call log, one 60-minute interview. Out: every decision that routes to you and what a buyer will flag.

2

The 90-day build

We move the decisions, write the processes, build the dashboard, and put AI agents on the repetitive work. We build it. We don't coach it.

3

The 14-day test

You leave for two weeks. The numbers hold or they do not. If they do not, we keep working free until they do.

4

The operations packet

A buyer-facing record of how the business runs without you, ready for your broker to put in front of buyers.

What's in the packet

Proof, in the order a buyer asks.

Operations documentation prepared by Skyfall. Not a valuation or financial statement.

  • A one-page summary: what runs without you, your days number before and after, and the 14-day test result.
  • Who decides what, at $50, $500, $5,000 and $50,000, by name.
  • Every documented process, who owns it, when it was last updated, and where it lives.
  • Each AI agent and automation: what it does, what it may change, how to switch it off, and its last 30 days.
  • The five to eight numbers the business runs on, with a 90-day trend and the person responsible for each.
  • Your top accounts and who manages each one now.
  • The open risks and the plan for each.
Working with your broker

We do operations. Your broker does the deal.

Your broker does valuation, marketing and the deal. We coordinate with them from day one.

We never give a valuation, never promise a sale price, and never take a fee tied to a sale. Pricing, tax and legal questions belong with your broker, CPA and attorney.

Utah first. Mountain West and remote where it fits.

Start with your number.

12 questions. About five minutes. If you plan to sell, the result shows what a buyer will check first.
