Why have WetorDry look them over?

You are having paid auditors a couple of grand to look over the company's financial statements, these guys get paid to do this; they are knowledgeable in this area.

Hell, Aside from seeing if the financial are accurate and complete, you have to see the cash flow statement. Any viable business needs to be pulling in a positive cash flow from their operating side.

How much debt to these guys have? If you are taking a controlling interest, then you might be on the hook for these debts.

Any contractual obligations? Tied to the debt the company may have?

We know this is privately-held, but is it a partnership? Incorporated?

If they have an AR account, whats their turnover, and compare it to the standard in the Industry.



What I am trying to get at is, there are tons of areas you have to look at.

And looking for answers here is good insight and all, but really, this should be left to the professionals: auditors, accountants, and lawyers.
