Indicative, based on your choices and typical stage lengths for a mid sized Indian business.
How it works
What is behind the result.
Where the durations come from
Each stage has a typical length for a mid sized Indian business, based on the eight stages of how a deal runs. Readiness stretches the preparation and diligence stages, and approvals stretch the time between signing and closing.
Why some stages overlap
Screening often starts before preparation is finished, and integration planning starts before closing. The plan shows each stage on its own line so the overlaps are visible.
How far to trust it
Real deals move with the other side, the approvals and the findings. Use the plan to set expectations and to brief your team.
