If these critical points are not accepted or met by one of the parties involved, the deal will fall through, regardless of the outcome of all other negotiations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deal-breakers occur particularly frequently in funding rounds, company sales, partnerships or contract negotiations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typical deal-breakers might include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>Disagreement over the valuation of the company<\/li>\n<li>Unfavourable terms of shareholding or contracts<\/li>\n<li>Unclear ownership or legal relationships<\/li>\n<li>Lack of market or growth prospects<\/li>\n<li>Doubts about the founding team or the business model<\/li>\n<li>Lack of transparency during the due diligence process<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifying potential deal-breakers at an early stage helps with this:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>Making negotiations more efficient<\/li>\n<li>to avoid unrealistic expectations<\/li>\n<li>Identifying risks at an early stage<\/li>\n<li>Building trust between the parties<\/li>\n<li>to increase the chances of a successful outcome<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is particularly important for start-ups to identify potential deal-breakers before entering into discussions with investors or partners, and to address them proactively.
