How should I handle a seller asking for a large non-refundable deposit in order to see his full customer list during DD? The seller has high-profile customers that he wants to keep confidential, so on one hand, I understand his concern. But on the other hand, we’ve signed an NDA and it’s the seller’s obligation to share the list as part of due diligence.
Wondering how I should handle this. Any advice?
