Acquisition planning assumptions include the acquisition name, the date of acquisition, the company value, the current adjusted EBITDA (profit before depreciation, amortisation, interest and tax charges), the ability to enter deferred payments (sometimes referred to as vendor loans), the ability for acquisition target management/owners to rollover/keep some of their equity, the ability to use a mix of senior debt vendor loans additional equity and existing group cash for acquisitions.

Simple platform and bolt on acquisition operating assumptions include the first forecast year sales, the annual growth rate thereafter, the gross margin, overhead as a percentage of sales, the actual fixed assets, and the annual capex spend.
Other assumptions include additional overhead cost and systergistic savings earned over time.
