The M&A Conundrum

Growing companies reach a stage where Organic Growth is insufficient to maintain growth rates, so they turn to Mergers and Acquisitions.

However, 50% to 80% of Acquisitions fail to add value, depending on whose study you read. Acquisitions are critical to meet growth targets, but if most of them fail, why do it?

Successes compensate for failures.

In baseball, batters strike out or get thrown out more than they hit. Better hitting—not perfect hitting—wins world championships. Let 5thGenCFO improve your average through customized deal structure, buy-side diligence and sell-side readiness.

Everything is for sale. Business owners are entertaining more pitches than ever to sell their businesses, while potential Buyers are facing a steeper cost of capital. This increases the risk to Buyers, thereby making due diligence critical to a successful acquisition for both parties. Proper due diligence involves structuring realistic, satisfactory deal points while planning for integration. Success hinges on structuring around the quantifiable while managing the emotional aspects of a transaction.
