Short advice segment (Mundo Sanchez) arguing that benchmarking is the fastest way to spot red flags during financial diligence. The speaker says they start by diving into financial statements—literally reviewing every line of the P&L and balance sheet—and then develop a customized set of questions for each deal based on the numbers observed.

The fastest way to identify, like, things that look off red flags. I'm diving into the financials first and then I'm developing, like, my full set of questions based on that particular deal. Very customized, because I'm going to have a lot of questions based on the numbers that I see, and every business is going to look different. So I would say benchmarking is the one of the first things I do. I mean, really, literally, quite literally, looking at every line of P and L and balance sheet.
