Doing a deal is a like having a second job. Employees may feel that they are doing two jobs and are only paid for one. So, they quit. As business owners, we understand the anxiety that comes with navigating mergers and acquisitions (M&A). But here's the thing: Clear and open communication can be your greatest asset in easing those worries. Think about it: Have you ever felt uncertain because you weren't kept in the loop? Imagine how your employees might feel if they're left in the dark during M&A negotiations. That uncertainty can breed distrust and create unnecessary roadblocks in your strategy. But when you make communication a priority, you're not just sharing updates – you're building trust. By keeping them informed and engaged every step of the way, you're showing them that their concerns matter, and their voices are heard.

How I grew our company revenue 13x using mergers. For 8 stressful years, I grew a startup from nothing to what was just a glorified job, I was responsible for sales, marketing, finance, and admin and was getting paid above average salary, but it was stressful and I knew there had to be a smarter way. After speaking to a colleague I discovered the wonderful world of mergers and acquisitions. 10 years on I have now studied with several experts in M&A, from Spain to Texas, and learnt some cool ways to grow, manage and acquire businesses, to help people realise more freedom, autonomy, and wealth. M&A (mergers and acquisitions) is a powerful way to help others and your own family better themselves and also improve society as a whole. Wealth allows you to take who you are and expand. If you are an ethical person you will do more good in the world and on the flipside if you are an egomaniac you may not help society in good ways. After a couple of transactions, I grew my IT Support company 13x using the power of mergers and created win/win situations for all parties. There are many unscrupulous people in the industry but you truly can have a situation where everyone wins and there isn't a better feeling than that.

How I create merger opportunities. In the world of businesses you can scale-up only by injecting capital. Or do you? There is the common idea that to grow, you need to invest. And most people would raise money through investors or debt. But it seems like there is a transparent ceiling that blocks them from expanding. However, you can decide to merge with another company or join a group to reach that growth with no capital investment, and with some benefits from day 1! I can create those opportunities though the extensive network that I've built. Every single week I engage in a new conversation with 100 business owner, of which I can draw out the ones that are looking for the next steps. From there, I can just connect the dots and make it happen. Mergers are about who you know, and how can you make it a successful partnership! P.S. Have you considered joining or starting a business group? ♻️ Repost to creat more opportunities!

Looking to grow your business quickly? 🚀 Acquisitions can be a game-changer, offering instant market access, reduced risk, and valuable resources. While building from scratch takes time, buying an established company can propel you ahead. A business broker can guide you through the process, making it smoother and less risky. Ready to buy instead of build? Let’s talk!

How should founders think about acquisition when things are not working? Step 1: Founders should honestly assess their company's situation. Step 2: Then they should make a directional decision - continue as is (and shut down if things don't turn around), sell, pivot, aim to be profitable, etc. Step 3: Then they should make a timeline for each of these paths. And map them against their energy, preference, and available resources. Step 4: Then they need to convince the board of the right path. Investors being on the same page as founders is very important. Step 5: If an acquisition path is chosen, they should explore the timeline for various types of acquisitions. e.g. strategic acquisitions take longer, asset acquisitions are faster, and acquihire could be quick. Step 6: Then discuss it with the team (being honest about it) and execute that path. Right now founders are running on hope. The "hope" strategy rarely works in these situations. Whenever I ask them what their plan is, they just want to try everything and see what sticks. Not picking a direction results in distracted efforts which reduces their chances of a transaction. I've seen more companies die because founders committed to a decision too late.
