"Many SMEs come up with the idea that they could buy in without having their own resources for it!"
Why it is not a good idea to initiate an M&A process without the right management attention, I talked to M&A consultant Axel Schulz, among others, this week. We talk about:
- What does "M&A readyness" actually mean?
- Why you should deal with the topic of M&A at least once a year!
- Why it has to fit between buyer and seller in terms of HUMAN, STRATEGIC and CONTENT!
- What role TIMING plays and what CORPORATE STRUCTURE!
- What expectations exist for the ENTERPRISE VALUE!
- How long such a process takes and how an M&A advisor supports it!
And my favorite point: How important a sensible Reporting away from the financial statements to increase the market value!
