Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Mergers & Acquisitions
How long does a typical M&A transaction take?

What is due diligence?
Due diligence is the investigation process where the buyer examines the target company's legal, financial, operational, and commercial matters to identify risks and verify the value of the business.
What should I do to prepare my business for sale?
Start preparation 1-2 years before sale by cleaning up financials, addressing legal issues, strengthening management, and documenting key processes. Well-prepared businesses typically command higher valuations.
