A
successful merger or acquisition requires a foundation of some basic information
upon which negotiations and closings can be successfully concluded.
Whether
buying a company or selling a company, it is mandatory that both parties have
clearly identified their near-term and long-term objectives such that the seller
or acquirer can be carefully evaluated to determine if it meets those
objectives.
Especially
in the case of a seller, those identified objectives should include the personal
objectives of the owner as well as the company.
Additionally,
and especially in the case of the seller, the Company to be sold should have
been thoroughly analyzed with alternative valuations (based on alternative deal
structures) performed PRIOR to initiating discussions with the buyer.
Oftentimes,
the owners of companies with annual revenues less than $75 million simply
respond to an unsolicited offer to buy their company. This procedure puts
the seller at a distinct disadvantage. The selling company finds itself
always responding to the buyer's offer as opposed to initiating discussions
which would have the buyer respond to the seller's objectives.
The
obvious areas of difficulty between buyer and seller are PRICE and TERMS.
The two usually counterbalance each other. That is why it is necessary to
have alternative deal structures and specific objectives well-defined BEFORE
discussions or negotiations begin.
