Due It Diligently: Practical Guide to Due Diligence for Entrepreneur Acquirers

By Alnor Ligons

Most buyers spend $30,000-$50,000 on professional due diligence before they know if the deal is worth doing. Some can't afford it and skip diligence entirely. Both paths end badly.This book is the third option.Due It Diligently teaches you to evaluate an acquisition yourself - systematically, with the same rigor a professional firm would bring, without the cost. Twenty-five chapters across four pillars: Is this a good business? Are the earnings real? Can you run it? Can the capital survive?You'll learn how to verify earnings against bank deposits. How to spot add-backs that don't hold up. How to tell if you're buying a business or buying a person. How to compute whether the debt service survives a bad quarter. How to read a lease, talk to employees, and assess your own operator gaps with honesty. And how to know when the evidence says walk away - even when everything in you wants to close.The deals that destroy lives aren't the ones you say no to. This book teaches you how to see clearly enough to know the difference.
