Acquisition - Buy a Business: Buy-Side Representation
There are two approaches to acquiring or buying a business:
An Active Acquisition Approach involves retaining buy-side representation. This includes:
Gathering, analyzing and assessing your acquisition capabilities.
Preparing financial and operating summaries for presentation to identified targets.
Developing acquisition criteria and potential target lists.
Soliciting identified acquisition targets.
Facilitating the exchange of information between parties.
Negotiating the deal
A Passive Acquisition Approach involves networking with local business brokers and M&A intermediaries to inform them of your interest in buying or acquiring a business. At your request, these professionals will keep you abreast of acquisition opportunities as they become available.
Which approach is best? That depends upon your current personal, business and financial situation as well as your goals and objectives.
