We love to share our wins—let's talk about the ones that got away.

I am seeking to compare notes about unsuccessful transactions with other searchers. I have my view on why transactions fail most often, but it is only one view, and I'd love to learn more about your experiences. This is part of a larger project to understand pain points for prospective buyers and sellers in the small and medium-sized business (SMB) transaction space, so I am eager to hear your tales of frustration and lessons learned, and share mine in the bargain.

I should clarify that I am interested in the aggregate experience and the mechanics of what went wrong rather than specifics of the businesses themselves!

The trick is, how to discuss this, without violating the NDA :)
