Buying a Business: The First 90 Days

Most acquisition advice stops at the LOI. What you'll pay, how you'll finance it, what diligence looks like. What no one prepares you for is the first ninety days: the people you inherited who don't know you yet, the systems that don't work the way the seller described, the comp plans you can't explain to anyone, and the culture you'll either defend or change.

In November, two Twin Cities operators who bought companies, one who closed in the last six months, and one a year ago, sit down with an M&A advisor who's worked dozens of deals to walk through what those ninety days actually demand. Plus a tactical segment on the five HR diligence questions that catch the most expensive surprises before close.

You'll leave with a concrete sense of what the first ninety days demand, what to fix before you sign, and what to expect when the seller leaves.

Built for first-time buyers, searchers under LOI, owners considering bolt-ons, and the lawyers, bankers, and advisors who serve them.
