Yes, it's real, and yes, these are the kinds of things many investors, and most acquirers, will be thinking about. The ten question subset would consist of things like: are business fundamentals sound, and is there a growth plan? is the existing leadership of quality to effect a step change over the next few years leading to exit, or will we need to bring in professional management? is the tech sound, secure and scalable (this is often least important)? is there regulatory exposure, and if so, how has that been addressed?
