Episode Details

Due diligence expert Elliott Holland shares the top things he wishes he’d known when he first started buying businesses.

Themes from Elliott's interview:

• Started the due diligence firm he wished he’d had himself
• For LOIs, don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good
• Early information on an acquisition is +/- 40% correct (and that might be OK)

• Don’t be surprised if the seller doesn’t trust you right away
