EP 26: Due Diligence Part 4: Deal Structure
A great deal can be nothing if its structure is not right. And the last but definitely not the least of the due diligence episode series is understanding the deal structure. You may find a great deal but if its structure is not right, your interest is not protected well and you’re putting your money at higher risks than needed. In this episode, I shared key areas in the deal structure that need your full attention to protect your interest as a passive investor.
