Dear Prospective Business Seller:
The following is an evolving compilation of Selected Potential Buyers’ Wish Lists for Company Acquisitions.
Buyers’ acquisition needs may change without prior notice. However they are a good indication of what opportunities they might wish to consider from interested Sellers like you may be in due time.
While as a Business Owner you may find it tempting to talk directly to Buyers, you may wish to engage an Investment Banking Representative who would have the capability to prepare you for this process and enable you to potentially entertain the interests of multiple Buyers. All of this could happen while you will be able to focus on running your business. Otherwise taking the time to entertain Buyer requests directly can be a distraction and may cause you to make suboptimal decisions in both making a deal as well as in running your business. Further, you may not be able to get an optimal value for your company by not taking advantage of the potential benefits an intermediary can bring as a “market maker” under opportune circumstances.
If after reviewing the following sampling of Buyers’ interests you decide to go ahead discuss questions you may have, please contact me so that we can arrange a consultation meeting. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Elias
