Opportunism is often a leading driver in acquisitions, but it’s important to consider whether this approach leads to success. We advocate for addressing this critical issue upfront rather than during the acquisition process.
Purpose of an acquisition strategy
A definitive acquisition strategy allows you to establish essential criteria for evaluating potential acquisition targets, mitigating the impact of time pressure from the sell-side’s advisors.Time pressure imposed by (the advisors of) the sell-side party is no longer a disruptive factor for you, when offered a company for acquisition. A person who knows what he or she wants can quickly decide and act upon the market as soon as the opportunity arises. Presenting a detailed acquisition plan to stakeholders ensures valuable feedback and fosters support for the acquisition.
