Typically about six weeks.
The LOI was signed before anyone asked whether the company could absorb another one. Leadership was already at capacity, the last acquisition was still half-integrated, and nobody wanted to be the one to say so.
For acquirers and operators preparing to absorb a company, before or between deals. We assess the organization across twelve domains — strategy, leadership, departments, people, platforms, process, clients — and answer one question with evidence: are we ready to buy, and if not, what has to be true first? Scored report, risk register, and a fix-first roadmap sequenced against the acquisition timeline. You don't need a deal on the table to start.
Readiness is a point-in-time claim. An annual re-check, or a re-baseline after a completed deal, runs against the stored baseline as a follow-on.
Charter confirmed, interviews scheduled, document list agreed.
Confidential interviews with leadership and department heads, document review.
