Description
Mergers and Acquisitions can seem daunting to entrepreneurs, but it doesn't have to
be. Growth through M&A is a simple process that can yield huge rewards if
the numbers work, if the company is a good match, and if you are willing to
accept some risk. Perhaps the most important aspects of M&A are having
the desire, strategy, and structure to make it happen - if you have that then
you can take your company to new heights with explosive growth and a minimum
amount of money down. This book serves as a guide to effectively find good
deals for entrepreneurial businesses in the 1 to 30 million dollar range. It
provides a blueprint for how to tackle issues such as determining whether
it's a good fit, due diligence, structuring the deal, valuation, tax issues,
and how to land the perfect catch. For M&A to succeed, these matters must
be addressed first. John will show you ways to find potential spots for rapid
growth and accomplish, on a smaller level, what the bigger companies do. By
breaking M&A down into approachable elements, you will find that your
entire outlook on the topic will be transformed.
