List of Transaction / Deal Fees

by a searcher

11 months ago

I want to make sure I'm capturing all of the potential deal fees I will encounter during the due diligence and closing process of a transaction that will soon be under LOI. In addition, to Legal, Tax, and Accounting / QoE fees, what else should I be budgeting for? If there are good resources you all have seen on this matter please feel free to share those as well! Thanks.

I would also suggest accounting for Operational DD.

Insurance would be another bucket to consider. Some of that happens post-close but useful to have all of your expenses lined up as soon as possible. Hopefully your sellers have historically had the appropriate coverage levels on the business otherwise those costs can quickly add up. Talk to Oberle or Symphony if you want search-specific support.
