4 Common Acquisition Myths Busted

If you’re scaling up your business before you exit…

 

..then part of your strategy might be to acquire other companies first.

 

But you’ll find that a lot of business owners simply talk themselves out of pursuing acquisitions with limiting beliefs…

 

MYTH 1. Buying another business is too complicated. The truth is that experienced M&A specialists and investment partners will simplify the process to make the deal happen.

 

MYTH 2. The business can’t afford to acquire other companies. But creative deal structuring can often make it possible. And the right acquisition will also unlock investment capital and loan funding.

 

MYTH 3. Acquisitions are risky. Not if you combine due diligence with smart deal terms which significantly mitigate the risks.

 

MYTH 4. It’s better to grow organically. Think again. Strategic acquisitions can fast-track your expansion and increase the premium which buyers will pay – when it’s your turn to exit.

 

So, the reality? Acquisitions can help you achieve your exit goals more quickly, especially when you have the right people around you.
