We’ve noticed some common questions acquirers ask during due diligence calls. Here are a few from a recent healthcare business deal: 1. What threats do you see to your business? What keeps you up at night? 2. How far can you scale with your current setup? Any specific numbers? 3. If you had more capital, where would you invest it first, second, and third to drive growth? 4. What’s your market share, and how big is your market? 5. What are you looking for in an acquirer—growth support or a full exit? 6. Are you aware of any businesses you might want to acquire yourself? This could be a future growth strategy with an acquirer backing your business. What other questions have you come across in your experience?

Big question for all business owners - what lowers your company's valuation if you plan to exit one day? 8 Points we learned over the years: 1. Wrong Market Positioning 2. Weak Management Team 3. Commoditized Product/Service 4. Lack of Profitability Tracking 5. High Customer Concentration 6. Inconsistent Revenue/Profitability 7. Location 8. Messy Capitalization Table Details here: https://lnkd.in/e35kewWt

A common misconception sometimes our clients don't realize until learning more about M&A - if the plan is to fully exit your business in 3-5 years, starting the process now could result in a growth partner you didn't know you needed, see below. https://lnkd.in/gihyjRWT
