Transition doesn’t end when the business is sold
Have you ever heard the phrase ‘maximizing enterprise value?’ For many business owners, it’s their primary focus as they contemplate a potential business sale
Middle-market business transitions are rarely simple, with family business transitions among the most complex.
Most business owners, investment bankers and deal brokers have one thing in common. They all tend to view an M&A transaction as the finish line—the consummation of the owner’s professional journey.
Business transitions, like the sale of a company, an acquisition, a restructuring, or a CEO change, are common in the middle market with 77% of businesses having experienced a transition in the past five years or expecting one in the next five.1 Transitions often provide the spark for improvement and innovation that keep a middle-market business moving forward.
