Post Acquisition Integration First 90 Days
|
Written by: Esteban De Bernardis
Prior to the completion of a deal, a comprehensive due diligence is required to help the buyer understand critical areas that could have significant impact for the acquired business during the first 90 days of operation under new ownership.
