Preparation is where value is made or lost. Apps & Gaming business owners in Maine who prepare 12 to 18 months before listing consistently achieve better multiples and shorter time-to-close than those who rush to market. The core steps are universal: three years of clean, professionally recast financials; reduced owner dependency; a secured lease with adequate remaining term; resolved legal and regulatory issues; and a complete data room ready before the first buyer conversation.
