When a company is looking for someone to buy shares or invest, the first step isn’t finding the investor — it’s cleaning up your house.
Here’s a simple checklist to get your company “investor-ready” 👇
✅ 1. How many accounting books do you have?
If it’s more than one, merge them. Investors need one clear set of accounts — not two versions of the truth.
✅ 2. Any revenue or expenses not recorded?
Record them all. Missing entries can distort profitability and make your valuation look unreliable.
✅ 3. Any retained earnings you plan to pay as dividends?
Do it before new shareholders come in. Once they’re on board, those funds no longer belong solely to existing owners.
✅ 4. Any loans from or to management?
If possible, clear them off before the deal. It makes the company’s financial structure cleaner and easier to understand.
✅ 5. Any related-party transactions?
Make sure they’re on market terms (arm’s length) and properly documented. Investors will look closely at whether sales, purchases, or loans between related companies are fair and transparent.
