You've found the perfect acquisition target. Revenue growth looks promising, market position seems solid, and the numbers add up on paper. But what lurks beneath? That missed liability could cost you RM 3 million in year one. Undisclosed employment disputes waiting to explode. Regulatory violations that could shut down operations overnight. Environmental compliance gaps that trigger government penalties. Tax assessments hiding in filing cabinets. One overlooked contract clause and your strategic expansion becomes a financial nightmare that keeps you awake at 3am, wondering how you missed the warning signs.
