Mergers, Acquisitions &
Management Buyouts
Straight WIP or practice sales/acquisitions are not always the best way to grow, diversify or dispose of a firm. Increasingly often, a better solution offers itself in the form of either a buy out from within (this could be the whole practice or just part equity) or a merger with another firm that serves to either consolidate your existing services or diversify in order to spread risk.
Both mergers and buy outs can be extremely beneficial, not least of all as they do tend to offer a degree of continuity. Typically, several key personnel remain in-situ post restructuring so that clients and suppliers alike retain confidence in the firm and it is very much a case of ‘business as usual’ from day one when the changes take effect.
But what are the dangers and pit falls?
Are you not sure who to merge with?
What do you need to make sure that the restructured firm is a success?
How do you secure funding for what many lenders may view as a new enterprise?
Is a merger or a buy out your best option? Have you fully considered the alternatives?
