The average M&A transaction has TEN THOUSAND individual, unique, and crucial decisions to make. Some of these include:
- How long is this going to take?
- How do we avoid making stupid decisions?
- How do we avoid wasting our time and/or money?
And these are only 3 of 10,000 decisions you have to make. That's only 0.03% of the decisions you need to make!
Undertaking an M&A without knowing the answers to these questions BEFORE you start is why most acquirers feel underwhelmed by their deal.
So, how can you increase the chances of a successful M&A?
We answer that in today's episode, where we cover M&A "IRR." This will help you develop a concrete view on exactly when you're ready to undertake an M&A integration.
We also "debunk" one of the greatest industry myths: that 70 to 90% of M&A transactions fail. Is this really true? I reveal the answer in today's episode.
