Mergers & Acquisitions Process Overview: 5-Part Series

The Mergers & Acquisitions Process Overview Series is a sequence of five articles about the purchase and sale process, which are all linked below.

It is intended to provide business owners with a broad overview of the transaction process and answer some of the questions that are frequently asked:

• What is involved in a purchase/sale transaction?
• What should I be looking for as a seller/buyer?
• What is this due diligence process I’ve heard about and how do I handle it?
• How is the acquisition agreement negotiated?
• What are some suggestions for post-closing integration to enhance the prospects for success?

5-Part Series

• Part 1: Triggers for buyers and sellers, generally, and the process by which they come together
• Part 2: Letter of Intent (LOI)
• Part 3: Due Diligence process
• Part 4: Acquisition Agreement content and negotiation
