KEY TAKEAWAYS
Before embarking on an acquisition, it is imperative to understand the position of the company, and know whether or not the business will collapse without its leader in place. We need to know if it can run on its own.You cannot wholly ignore the broker market, but also you cannot afford to simply rely on them for all deals, as they come with their own set of challenges.Focus on four direct routes to finding deals:Accountants representing clients thinking about retirementWealth managers who need sellers to have liquidityM & A lawyers, ideally before any decisions are madeCorporate finance teams (ensuring that they are made up of actual accountants)Simply marketing once and hoping it works, is never enough. We must build a relationship, however carefully, with our potential audience, and treat the relationship as a two-way street, in which we both communicate with each other.BEST MOMENTS
'The universe was telling me something...'
'Debt is a useful leverage to improve the size and value of a deal that's possible'
'Life is a great teacher'
'Treat prospects, potential sellers, as an audience you need to communicate with'
