The Thrill of Due Diligence

I got out of Corporate Transactions at 6, and grabbed a quick snack at the 7-11. Today we discussed corporate due diligence, after examining some example documents.

Getting to do due diligence would rock!

I'm serious! You get to do a sort of X-Ray on a living corporate patient. You could see how everything is connected.

From the initial articles of incorporation, to the day-to-day operation of the firm. Think of all of the lives, and loves, bound up in an enterprise of even a small size.

The smallest mom-and-pop company is somebody's baby. It might be raking in the dough, or barely making payroll. And, of course, every successful company will have friendly enemies out to undercut your every bid.

And, if they're asking you to do due diligence, that means there's a deal lurking in the background. Someone is looking to shake things up.

What a blast!

Anyway, now I'm hanging out at the Dunkin' Donuts, enjoying a large coffee and a krueller. Mmm, kruller.
