Document everything

If you’ve just acquired a business and things don't feel quite right, start a document where you insert all dubious post-closing observations, such as:‌

- What was not as promised
- What was not disclosed
- Anything adversarial that happened during the transition, etc.‌

Document everything - even the small things that may seem trivial (include screenshots and other evidence). Cynical? Yes. Smart? Yes.

Your lawyer will thank you.
