Before relying on the firm for a sale or capital raise, an owner should also confirm the current operating and contracting entity, applicable licenses or regulated affiliates, conflicts, recent completed assignments, investor or buyer coverage, references, and the fee, exclusivity, tail, termination, and expense provisions.[1][3]
