I believe most of these potential deals fall through. If you spend a ton of money on an M&A attorney every time someone mentions acquisition, you're screwed.

I would think that there would be some initial fixed costs that you wouldn't have to repeat on your second time around. Also, it would provide valuable insight into some aspects of your company you haven't thought about (valuation).

Does anyone have evidence that costs diminish in this example?
