Investigating a #SmallBiz- How long do you need for due-diligence- How To Buy a Business How much due-diligence is enough when buying a business?

Sellers and brokers seem to want to restrict the time buyers have to examine and investigate the business.

Seriously, how much can you learn about a business with only 10 days?  Clearly you need more time, but do you need a time limit?

What should buyers ask for and why does it make sense for a seller to agree?

Thank you and I’ll see you next time.
