I hope this isn't too vague but I've been using the Hacker News Search to find an old thread regarding the legal and accounting steps that Startups should take from Day 1 to prepare themselves for a buyout.<p>I don't remember what the OP was exactly, but I remember a detailed discussion about how proper setup of your Startup can make it much easier when/if the time comes to get acquired.<p>Specifically, there was a comment with a link to a very comprehensive checklist (~50+ items).
