It depends on how much the Seller's transition also entails in terms of introducing to clients, key suppliers, educating on the key moving parts in the business.

The ideal one is what the seller wants and how much you think you'll need. The Ideal one is the one that the seller will accept and you will get the deal from all the other competitors. Market avg what I've seen is though 2 weeks to 2 months then available by phone for a year.
