Part 2 of 3-part Series (1st session April 16th)
Business Growth through Acquisition
Best practices and strategic considerations for corporate acquirers
 
In an increasingly competitive market, organic growth is becoming harder to achieve. Some of your competitors have fallen by the way side and others have been acquired. Where is YOUR COMPANY’s place in your industry? Can you afford to continue to grow organically? Will you be acquired or squeezed out of the industry? Are you strong enough to be THE consolidator?  This seminar will focus on what it takes to grow through acquisition and the opportunities and pitfalls such a strategy presents.
A well-planned acquisition strategy can expand your business and diversify your risk. In addition, understanding leading M&A and transaction management best practices will increase your likelihood of a successful acquisition.
 
This session is tailored to CEOs and CFOs of mature businesses, and will cover the following key issues:
- Acquisition rationale and strategy
- Evolutionary versus transformational acquisitions
- How to find and approach suitable acquisition targets
- Deal pricing, structuring and negotiation considerations
- Due diligence, integration and financing considerations
