Good advice. The current owners have met him and like him but want to double check with us to see if we agree.

Best advice then is to just agree and try and get to know him / befriend him / secure your future position. Chances are he may want to bring in his own team, so this is your chance to show he doesn't need it.

Ask him/her what they last failed at and what they think it taught them.

Ask him to brew up.

Good point there about bringing in people he knows. I'll diplomatically ask the business owner about that.

Try and work out how long a grace period you have before your replaced.
