I'm working on a deal to buy a business out of bankruptcy and given the stage its at, we need to move quickly. Wondering if anyone out there has any lessons learned, horror stories, or any watch outs to share if you've done this before! Trying to look around corners as best as I can!

If you are talking about a 363 sale, you need blind pool committed capital or cash in the bank. You can't submit a bid with financing contingencies. Not sure this works if you are a self-funded or traditional searcher.

You need to be an expert in the domain.
