You've done
the work.
Still not sure.
- 01Are the numbers real, or just what they wanted you to see?
- 02Is the price actually fair, or just what the market will bear?
- 03What if you can't make the payments — and you're six months in?
- 04What are they not telling you, and will you find out too late?
- 05Can you actually run this, or does it walk out the door with them?
