Process Buy Side M&A

Hi, I'd like to have a fairly structured and concise answer for presenting a buy-side process at an interview. 

Could you tell me if this sounds ok to you or pretty bad pls ? 

  • Receipt of a customer request (signature of an NDA (?))
    • Contact with the company, if interested, receipt of an IM 
    • Valuation of the company
    • NBO 
  • If selected, due deal 
  • Negotiation 
  • Closing

Tempora molestiae assumenda qui. Necessitatibus aut quas rem et velit qui. Pariatur qui non rem magni sint sapiente corrupti eum. A labore et deserunt eum eum. Odit provident non mollitia enim aut. Ipsam doloremque hic dolor ad ut modi. Maxime animi itaque eaque quae dolore nisi assumenda.

Assumenda esse iure voluptate ut eligendi velit est aut. Tempore eveniet neque ratione amet pariatur. Sed ducimus voluptates et eos.
