The owner should also request comparable completed-transaction references, buyer-channel and confidentiality details, the written valuation methodology, the treatment of owner compensation and expenses, and the responsibilities assigned to the firm for diligence, buyer qualification, negotiation, and transition support. If any proposed Legacy Vault service is part of the proposed service, the owner should confirm its included services and any recurring technology or storage fees.[1][2]
