Indicate what you have today (email, NDA, LOI, due diligence) and get your checklist and next steps for the next 30 days.

Your 30-day checklist = steps by current stage + seriousness criteria + next action

Choose what best matches what you have received or signed so far.

Current stage in the process

How do I use this diagnosis?

The diagnosis complements the guide: pick the stage that best describes your situation and get the checklist in order plus the recommended next action. If you already signed an NDA or LOI, it helps you not skip steps — for example reviewing the NDA with your lawyer or preparing the data room before opening it. The guide covers seriousness criteria, mistakes to avoid and when to bring in an M&A advisor or lawyer.

What other tools and guides to review?

The first 30 days define whether the conversation with the buyer stays on track. The guide on what to do when you receive an offer connects this diagnosis with the full process and when to involve an advisor.
