Beware. A big risk arises while choosing advisors. Be wary of advisors who don’t refer you to or share with you copious amounts of legitimate and useful how-to info. (Too many advisors milk their clients for fees. Hire advisors who want you, on your own, to further your education so they can be more effective for you.)



As to selecting your advisory team: Hire advisors having a proven history of working for buyers and sellers of the kind and size of deal you intend. Ask how they have facilitated deals that should and did occur. Hire deal makers, deal closers.

Avoid the wrong kind of deal killer.

There are two kinds of deal killers:
• There are advisors who don’t know enough about dealmaking for small and midsize companies. Not wanting to make mistakes these poseurs are more likely to poo-poo deals or (worse) bless them.
•

The other kind of deal killer is adequately experienced, which means when they try to kill the deal, do it.

I haven't personally used him, but have heard good things about Jon Herzog from a few successful searchers. He works at Goodwin Law https://www.goodwinlaw.com, and I met him at the HBS ETA conference -- wasn't hesitant to dish out some free tips either
