KEY TAKEAWAYS
Mergers and acquisitions make up the art of advising people on how to best buy and sell businesses, ensuring win-win situations for all involved.
It's always best to consider your objectives when coming to the sale of your business. Make sure you know what the aim of the sale is, as it'll help to guide you to the best result.
People can successfully sell business without an advisor, but these people are in the minority. It's a very emotional and complicated process and having an expert at your side can be crucial.
Even if the economy and the market is tough, there are still hopeful things in the acquisition world. No matter what the landscape looks like, there are always opportunities and deals to be had. You just need to look harder at times.
BEST MOMENTS
'I help people navigate the process and find the best way to help them fulfil their ambitions'
'It's good that today there are more routes into professional services'
'What success looks like is something that people should really spend some time with'
'There's no such thing as an A to Z on how to sell your business'
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
