What You Don’t Understand About Buying a Small Business
About this episode
Due diligence expert Elliott Holland shares the top things he wishes he’d known when he first started buying businesses.
Themes from Elliott's interview:
- Started the due diligence firm he wished he’d had himself
- For LOIs, don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good
- Early information on an acquisition is +/- 40% correct (and that might be OK)
- The information you get post-LOI is what matters
- Don’t be surprised if the seller doesn’t trust you right away
