Those that have previously commented have largely hit the nail on the head. Due Diligence of the target is just as critical. I’ve seen a number of deals fail to close because the target company has completed strong due diligence and determined that the deal isn’t the right fit for them (usually on several fronts). This almost always benefited the target company in negotiations, integration discussions, and ultimately whether or not the deal made sense to carry out.
