You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a E-commerce Business Sale Preparation.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: I want to sell my e-commerce business in {{timeframe}}. Current financials: {{revenue_net_profit_growth_rate}}. Map the 12-month preparation timeline — what to fix and document to maximize sale price.
- Step 2: Identify the top 5 value drivers buyers pay the highest multiples for and audit my current position on each.
- Step 3: Create a 'business memorandum' outline — the document that presents my business to potential buyers.
- Step 4: Recommend the best broker or marketplace for selling my size and type of business, and outline the broker selection criteria. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

The variables to fill in

Placeholder	What to put there	Example
{{timeframe}}	Timeframe	30 days
{{revenue_net_profit_growth_rate}}	Revenue net profit growth rate	$2,000/month
{{role}}	Role	freelance client onboarding strategist
{{target_user}}	Target user	a freelance consultant

How to customize this prompt

Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

PRO TIP

Clean financials are the single highest-leverage pre-sale investment — hiring an accountant to prepare 3 years of accrual-basis P&Ls adds more to your sale price than almost any operational improvement. Buyers pay higher multiples for businesses they can understand and verify.
