I've seen a couple of people posting in here asking for Due Diligence Checklists. I came across this one which is pretty good. Just enter your email and it's free!

Thanks for this list - it looks like it will be very helpful. One issue though: this (but also many other checklists I've come across) do not really take into account any IT or Cyber due-diligence. There are a lot of risks in these areas and they often get discounted during the due-diligence process.

Also important is handling the expectations of the intermediary and seller. Everyone should be on the same page early in the process about how intense the due diligence will be and whether there will be follow-on requests based on the result of the initial request.
