The Benefits of an M&A Adviser
You, the business owner, are a risk taker that is accustomed to getting things done on
Read FurtherOver the decades, Stanley has amassed a considerable amount of knowledge and expertise. He points out that it is easy for people to lose sight of the fact that many so-called “overnight successes” are actually the result of ten or twenty years of hard, thankless work. It is through these years of laser-like focus that entrepreneurs are able to bootstrap their business. Additionally, these business owners need to not only have a vision, but also the insight to bring on great people to help build their business.
Stanley feels that working with a deal attorney can make a tremendous amount of difference, as it can increase the chances of a successful transaction taking place. Deal attorneys understand the deal process, which can make all the difference when it comes to streamlining the process.
“Deal fatigue” can derail what would otherwise be a good deal. This term applies to how deals can sometimes drag on for months. Working with an experienced deal attorney can help expedite the entire deal process. In turn, it can help to avoid the dangers typically associated with deal fatigue.
Stanley believes that it is critical for a business owner to think about selling as soon as possible. Ideally, a business owner should be thinking about selling when they start their business. He realizes that most business owners can’t hope to prepare for selling as soon as they create the business. But the point is clear, the sooner they begin the process the better. Business brokers and M&A advisors can best serve business owners by helping them understand that they shouldn’t wait until a month or week before they are ready to sell their business to get their respective houses in order.
There are so many important factors involved in getting a business ready to sell. They range from customer concentration and diversifying suppliers to preparing financial statements and working capital estimates well in advance.
In particular, Stanley points to the danger of business owners having to deal with preparing their business for sale while continuing to operate the business during the sales period. What must be avoided is for business owners to essentially have two jobs at the same time, as this increases the odds of deals falling apart from deal fatigue. The sooner a business broker is involved in the process, the better.
