Typical Timeline:
• Month 0-12: Find buyer, negotiate terms (6-12 months)
• Month 12-18: Due diligence, legal docs, approvals (3-6 months)
• Month 18-24: Central bank approval + fund transfer (3-6 months)

🚨 Critical: Start documentation Day 1. Cannot reconstruct 5 years of FX inflows at exit. Missing docs = repatriation blocked or heavily taxed.
