Panel: Preparing Your Company for Exit – An Essential Guide
summary
Practical checklist for getting buyout-ready: keep clean share structure and simple tax setup, document IP and developer assignments so app store accounts and domains transfer cleanly, run rolling due diligence and monthly financials, and lock in accounting and tax advisors early. Buyers focus on fit, scale and defensible IP; some deals price with a three-year valuation view and add earnouts for next-title upside. Example outcomes cited include an acquisition that grows a 25-person studio to 200 and one sale that paid ~US$5M before later hitting ~US$16M annual profit under the acquirer.
