Ive been through a 6 figure sales and the standard items were needed to prove that your business is what its claiming to be.

1. Bank Statements- the most current year was priority
2. Returns
3. w-9s for employees
4. Fixed expense bills and statements.

I am wondering what is expected in terms of record keeping when the time comes to sell your 7 figure business.

How is the process of due diligence different if at all?
