Many of us rely on lists and step-by-step instructions to get us through some of the simplest tasks in life, like grocery shopping. And yet, when it comes to something as complex as the sale or acquisition of a business, many entrepreneurs and executives are willing to “wander the aisles” aimlessly trying to figure a transaction out instead of doing the basic planning that they use to make a trip to the supermarket successful. If your business plan calls for a merger or acquisition, here’s a suggested checklist to keep your transaction on track.
Let’s admit it – mergers are exciting. You get to realize your company’s strategic plan and grow the company. The intricacies of negotiations can occupy all of your attention, and getting the deal right is incredibly important. But often, transition plans for managing the resulting company are lost in the process.
Part of the life cycle of a business is a change in ownership, when an owner or founder sells his or her business. There are many motivations for owners to sell their business interests, among them:
RIDGELAND, Mississippi, January 21, 2022 – HORNE Capital, a leading M&A advisory firm, served as transaction advisor to MMI Hospitality Group in its recent acquisition of Primos Café.
HORNE Capital served as buy-side advisor to MMI President Micajah Sturdivant and the company leadership team to ensure a smooth transition between the two parties.
If you ask a dozen executives if their goals for their companies include long-term growth, you would probably get a unanimous “Yes” from the group. If you then asked them to define what long-term growth looks like at their companies, you might get a dozen different answers. In order to prepare a business for long-term growth, the first step is to understand what exactly needs to grow.
Over the past year, business owners have been confronted with key decision points related to uncertainty about the COVID-19 pandemic and how to be competitive in the new economic environment. Prices are increasing, consumer spending is up, and customer behaviors have shifted more dramatically in the past year than in recent history.
