Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity reached an all-time high last year and experts forecast this healthy M&A market to continue throughout 2022. That may have you thinking about selling the business you’ve spent years building.
While it’s still a good time to sell a company with strong fundamentals, how you go about it is key to achieving the optimal outcome. It’s a complex undertaking—and it may be one of the biggest decision of your life, both financially and personally.
If you try to go it alone, you risk accepting a below-market offer, losing out on the financial benefits of a competitive bidding process, or even losing the deal altogether during negotiations. That’s why many founders choose to partner with an investment banker to guide them through this critical process.
To help you decide whether this approach is right for you, ScaleView has created The Founder’s Guide to Working With an Investment Banker.
