The question is when, not if.
Buyers think they have the business and can take their foot off the gas. Don't.
Most failures will come after buying the business because of seemingly small issues pre-close or issues you couldn't have figured out pre-close.
Some issues include bad management, too much debt, embezzlement, and not tracking every single dollar.
