French term or phrase: Vous positionner

Hi guys. This is a short extract from a letter accepting the sale of a company. The French is as follows:

Nous souhaiterions pouvoir céder le Site, mais comprenons que vous ne disposez pas encore de la visibilité nécessaire pour vous positionner.

My attempt is: 'We wish to transfer the Site, but we understand that you do not yet possess the necesary level of visibility to take up a final position'.

Not really happy with this, so any help would be great. Thanks in advance!
