Not my post, mind you. The one below.

Here's a guy who acquired a company that is learning a ton of lessons. I hate the way we seem to have to learn from experiences likenthis (myslef included), but here are th3 lessonsnhes learned so far:

Why not to buy too small.

Why you should get all of your quotes for your future cash flow before you buy.

Why to do a stock sale vs an asset sale.

Why not to listen to your lawyer on structure / operations questions.

Asset vs stock deals is an interesting topic. I feel like the messaging in the community is very strong to asset deals, and I understand there are benefits to it... but there are also drawbacks (some in this post) and they should be discussed more often.

Russ Hadlock is on the latest episode of Acquiring Minds (“Front Lines of a Crisis”). Very instructive listen.
