There's little public information about small acquisitions and how they happen -- thanks for sharing. Everyone would be better off if there more information and transparency around these processes.
I went through a small acquisition (single digit millions) and we're building a membership site that would help people understand this process (from the seller's perspective) and the potential pitfalls, what sorts of things do you think must be addressed? Or perhaps need greater attention?
What are the things that drive price? What does the diligence process look like? Managing telling employees vs secrecy?
I've written an ebook about the due diligence process and I could write a post that explains it if enough ppl are interested
Yes please
Me too. Thanks.
Do you have a mailing list of anything else I can sign up to to be notified when this launches?
I thought Basil Peters' Early Exits (www.early-exits.com) was a pretty decent overview.
Glad you found it valuable. My mission is to debunk the standard myths, misperceptions and outright lies about the exit process.
