Answering this question depends on the deal type and the diligence scope. In straightforward transactions, a period of several weeks may suffice for preliminary negotiations and a term sheet, followed by a focused diligence phase and a timely close. For complex structures, expect a longer timeline with deeper risk assessment and regulatory reviews. A proactive approach, early planning, and clear decision points help maintain momentum while preserving accuracy and control over the process.
Deal timelines vary, but many mid‑market transactions finalize within 60 to 120 days from initial discussions to closing.
