What is the Deal-Killer Diagnostic? A self-assessment built from the buy side: it checks a business against the five issues that most often kill deals or compress valuations: buyer fluency, commodity positioning, owner dependence, numbers that don't match the story, and missing documented evidence. It was created by Pre-Sale Prep, founded by Nick McLean, Managing Partner at Four Pillars Investors, a private equity firm that has closed 10 acquisitions.
