This is what you get in writing.
A full walkthrough of an SDP™ report for a made-up company, so you can see exactly what the diagnostic tells you before you apply. Not a real client.
Not ready to sell. Very fixable in 12 months.
What we found
The business makes good money, but most of it depends on the owner. Three customers hold the key relationships, one account is a third of revenue, and the add-backs aren't documented well enough to survive a lender's review.
What it means today
A buyer would discount the price for risk, and a bank would likely cut the loan amount or decline. Listing now risks a failed process that employees and customers hear about.
What happens if you fix it
Moving the owner out of key relationships and cleaning up the financials turns the same revenue into a business a lender will fund and a buyer will pay more for.
Everything a buyer or lender will flag, ranked.
Each item shows how serious it is, whether it's fixable, and what to do about it.
Buyers see revenue that could leave with you.
Lenders treat concentration as a direct risk to repayment.
Diligence reduces any earnings adjustment it can't verify.
Buyers pay less for a business that runs in one person's head.
A short lease creates uncertainty for both buyer and lender.
What to do, in what order.
Clean up financials and document add-backs with your CPA.
Introduce second contacts on key accounts. Write down core processes.
Renew the lease. Start diversifying the largest account.
Re-run the diagnostic. If the score clears 80, go to market.
