The conversation also covers the strategies business owners should consider to prepare for the buying or selling process, such as having a solid management team and establishing an exit plan that truly adds value to the business.
Key Takeaways:
- Business valuation is often industry-specific, and the market sets the price based on comparable sales in the recent past.
- Emotional readiness and concessions are critical in M&A transactions. Deals not only involve financial stakes but also human emotions and relationships.
- A company being ready to sell often means having an operational structure where the owner's day-to-day involvement is minimal.
- A dedicated M&A team can catalyze growth through acquisitions, but this concept is underutilized in small to mid-sized businesses.
- Businesses with paper-based accounting and traditional management can still be great acquisition targets if their financials are in order.
