Acquisitions to Grow the Business

Strategy, Structure, Integration & Due Diligence

Should your company look for acquisitions, seek a merger or consider selling all or part of your business?  How do you know what to look for in an acquisition or merger candidate?  How do you arrive at a fair price and create incentives for future growth?  How do you perform effective and efficient due diligence?  What should you look for in the legal documents?  What do the new accounting rules mean for mergers and acquisitions?  How can you plan a post-merger business to take advantage of synergies and reduce culture shock?
