We build insightful CIMs and business plans

Selling your business can be the opportunity of a lifetime. We are here to help you make a great first impression to buyers.

So, what is a CIM?

A CIM or Confidential Information Memorandum (pronounced like "sim") is usually the first document that a potential buyer will see. It should tell the full story of your business, demonstrate its performance, and showcase its unique value in a way that appeals to buyers.

CIM length and contents will vary depending on the size and type of the business, but they typically contain things like company history, financials, and an industry overview.

Now that you know what a CIM is, let's talk about why they are so important.

Why are CIMs so important when selling a business?

A CIM is usually the first - and sometimes the only - chance that you will have to show buyers what is so great about your business. It needs to clearly demonstrate the value that your business presents and educate potential buyers on the industry and competition, so they feel compelled to learn more.

Think about it like a startup founder pitching to an investor. They are looking to sell them on why their startup is worth investing in.
