Mergers & Acquisitions Made Simple

Mergers and Acquisitions can end in disaster or be extremely profitable. For example, the difference between an acquisition that generates profit and one that destroys millions can end up costing you plenty.

I have seen great, sometimes even good transactions. I can even recall a few instances where I thought what my buyers were proposing was just downright atrocious! (Of course, that’s good news if you are on the other side of the table)

This book is your Corporate Finance Centre of Excellence. Any insights that help you navigate the M&A mosaic; the value multiplier for you could still be worth thousands of dollars if not millions.

Who this book is for:
If you are an Entrepreneur and at some point plan to sell your company, M&A knowledge should be a vital tool in your arsenal. This will allow you to make better decisions in the future should you wish to sell your company
Startup founders looking to fundraise or buy an upcoming startup to improve their growth prospects or consolidate market share
Students who want to learn more about Investment Banking or Corporate Finance
Mergers and acquisitions is a tricky field, even the most seasoned advisers could learn a thing or two
Senior managers in the finance sector who want to improve their knowledge in corporate finance & M&A

We are going to start off with an introduction to the subject and the procedure, then go through a simple yet entertaining explanation of the whole M&A business, how it works, and what all the jargon means.

Then, for the sake of completeness, I'll give you a quick crash course on valuation.

Now, this may appear to be a lot at first, but I want you to understand how crucial it is to get valuations correct. At the same time, however, it is quite tough. It’s mostly as art.

Then we'll walk you through the process of turning a firm into a viable business.

So we'll go through the first stage of planning, the presale preparation, and then we'll go over how to conduct a sale. We then shift our attention to marketing the company and addressing some of the key concerns.

In this section, which is entitled "Fascinating Deal Analysis," we'll discuss the distinctions between deal and company sales. We'll also go over how to look at a sale in negotiation if you're doing a buyout, as well as some of the things that are particularly essential for financial investors and trade buyers.

I'll then go over some of the difficulties in term sheets. I'd also like to give you a quick heads up on negotiations.

This part, in particular, may develop further. I could write a book on negotiation. As a result, covering this subject in just four chapters is quite difficult. However, I'm hoping that you'll obtain an idea of how vital negotiation is as a skill.

Then we finish the book and depart on our own.

I'm ecstatic to bring you ‘Mergers and Acquisitions Made Simple’. Hope you find this book a very exciting read.
