Failed acquisition

by a searcher from Swinburne University of Technology

Has anyone acquired a business but it did not work out as you planned?

I am curious to know what went wrong, what mistakes were made and what you would do differently if you had your time again?

I've known a couple people whose did not pan out well. In both cases there were red flags during the deal process, but like many, in an effort to get the deal done overlooked them and unfortunately came back to bite them.
