Buying a Company Course

 Location: London (Central)

The destruction of shareholder value through ill-thought-out acquisitions is a well known feature of the M&A market.

This course covers all aspects of an acquisition process from initial strategies for expansion through to planning, due diligence, negotiation, execution and the preparations for a successful integration.

The major risks and problems likely to be encountered by professional advisers, principals and entrepreneurs are highlighted with guidance for their avoidance or mitigation. Process and commercial failures are examined and the necessity for a sound acquisition plan is emphasised.
