Human Resource Experts are responsible for reviewing significant personnel areas, including labor issues and compliance with statutes. Their insights are vital for assessing workforce stability and potential integration challenges.

Marketing and Sales Experts evaluate the target's market positioning and distribution strategies, ensuring alignment with strategic goals. They analyze market niches and current markets to validate the target's commercial viability.

Financial and Accounting Experts perform critical financial analyses, creating accurate financial statements that reflect the target's operational results. This role is fundamental for understanding the financial health of the target.

Federal & State Taxation Experts assess the tax implications of the acquisition, while Legal Experts ensure all legal documents are in order and provide necessary legal advice. Lastly, Insurance Experts offer insights into insurance-related issues, which can be pivotal for risk management post-acquisition.
