In the distressed world, they say to look out for the three "Ds": death, disease, divorce.

You may find it useful to build connections with bank work-out departments, bankruptcy lawyers, restructuring teams at accounting firms and executors of estate assets. Set up alerts to inform you of all business news in your area of focus relating to companies that are reviewing strategic options, appointing administrators, negotiating to restructure or dealing with shareholders in financial trouble.
