2.  Opportunity to move quickly when the opportunity is right

3.  The right industry titan can open big strategic doors

4.  Referral networks are key

Note: Many my think strategically but try to buy you out at commodity investment banker prices.

Conducting Due Diligence

1.  Go in with eyes open to the niche and size of business you are targeting

2.  Angel Capital Education Foundation u  Median due diligence time: 20 hours

u  Those who spend over 20 hours had a 6x return on capital while those who spent less than 20 hours had a 1.1x return.

u  Those who spent over 40 hours/deal on average had a 7x return

3.  Attorney fees can range from $5-20K on the low end up to $100K+ for large deals. Typical fees tend to be between $10K-$25k for most family office deals I have seen.

Deal flow Sources for Family Offices

1.  Family Office, Merchant Bank, and Investment Bank Referrals

2.  Call Centers

3.  Niche Industry Status, $1B+ Commodity Firm Example

4.  Deal Networks (Axial, etc.)

Deal Fatigue: Families are worried about seeing a shopped deal, that has too many layers of fees, non-ideal terms, or just something that has no momentum in the market.
