Total Deal Costs for a Self Funded Searcher?

by a searcher

2 years ago

I am a bootstrapped self funded searcher and have been getting lots of different quotes on how much things like Legal, QofE, Tech Audit, Bank closing could most efficiently cobbled together while also getting everything done properly.  Anyone feel comfortable sharing thoughts?

Thanks

If you have a deal or asking a general question for all our awareness. let me know I have someone who is is helping searchers like myself with some skin in the game for due diligence, CFO type support and pre due diligence, deal structuring etc. I am also available to searchers for a chat anytime to brainstorm on deals.

Depends if it is a stock or asset deal. I am at the end of a stock deal and it's $135k legal, $20k QofE, then miscellaneous $10k. A difficult seller with prolonged negotiations drove up legal costs.
