Exploring acquiring the stateside assets (an HR tech platform) of a company that runs the same business abroad, under the same name, just slightly different domain. What are some of the things to consider and potentially hidden risk factors when doing these types of deals?

How much business is just the result of being associated with this company, how much infrastructure do you lose when it separates, do the financials reflect the all-in cost of running this business as a stand alone entity, seriously why are they selling a division, will employees stay when they are no longer part of a larger org, is the parent leaving you with their worst employees.

Great points above from Brett. From a financing standpoint, evaluating whether this entity can stand on its on as an entity i.e., is it profitable without support of the parent company? Also, make sure that they can present you with clean, independent financials for just this US entity.
