This is the first of a two part series episode all about due diligence. In this episode I will be discussing everything under the sun about each of the 9 steps of due diligence before buying a gas station business.  In the next episode which is part 2 of this series, will be all about the other hidden risk factors that you need to check and verify before buying a gas station. The risk factors I will be talking about in the next episode do not actually fall into a typical due diligence check list. So it is important to pay attention.
