Some good insight here on buying distressed businesses David. I would say that one of the most difficult parts of buying a distressed business in the timing. It's tough to tell when a business is distressed (from the outside). Many times you don't find out about the distressed business until after they have already taken action to close the business and just walk away. If there is a way to tell when a business is distressed but not so far along that it's not "savable", that seems to be a much better time to take action for this type of business.
