Note: I spent a year of my life compiling the documents listed here and did so with the same business acumen and attention to detail that I gave to multi-million dollar deals for some of the globe's largest companies. I am offering them here because I want to help others in this industry who may not have the resources to perform these essential analyses. Throughout this process I struggled to find guidance on financials for this industry, requiring a great deal of creative and in-depth research using expensive tools largely only available to large financial institutions. Therefore, I aim to provide this invaluable resource to others at an affordable cost.
