Frequently Asked Questions

What should I prepare before contacting KMF about an acquisition? +

Define the preferred industry, geography, budget, owner role and minimum earnings. Prepare a buyer profile, proof of funds and lender information so KMF can evaluate fit efficiently.

When does due diligence begin? +

For KMF transactions that proceed through a purchase contract, the formal due-diligence period generally begins after the parties sign the contract and the required escrow deposit is made. The contract controls the scope and timing.

Can the due-diligence period be extended? +

An extension may be considered when reasonably required, but it must be agreed to by the parties and documented properly. A buyer should not assume that an extension will be granted.

Is a letter of intent accepted for every transaction? +

No. Under KMF's process, an LOI is generally reserved for transactions of $10 million or more or matters whose complexity makes one appropriate. Smaller transactions generally use an asset-purchase contract with escrow and a defined due-diligence period.
