I'm in process to close on an acquisition and keen to hear from others what your comprehensive 'to do list' is in preparation of taking ownership of your new business, and how you advise going about it efficiently.

Thank you in advance!

For hiring, read excellent book called Who by Geoff Smart. Recommended by several panelists at recent Kellogg/Booth ETA Conference. I've been interviewing potential hires for 20+ years and learned from the book!

Before your acquisition, to mitigate risk, you need to conduct financial due diligence, legal due diligence and customer due diligence. My firm, WHIZDOM, specializes in conducting customer due diligence. We are an objective and independent third party who can get the customer contact information sooner. We have the skillset expertise from 20+ years of interviewing senior level executives. Feel free to contact me at###-###-#### or set up meeting using https://calendly.com/ivy-millman/phone-meeting
