D. Special Licenses or Relationships Required to Operate
Many US companies require access to particular licenses or relationships for
success of the business. Transportation modes are often regulated by different
government agencies that require their own licenses, bonds, and insurance.
These licenses may not necessarily be transferable. This should be explored
early to make sure time is not wasted on the wrong target company.
