Legacy Matters: Turn Your Family Business into Generational Wealth

Family-owned companies are important to the overall economy and the fabric of the global business landscape. But it is not always easy to sustain their success spanning generations. Most businesses do not even reach the second generation, and even fewer make it to the third. However, well-run family companies tend to be more profitable and stay in business longer than other privately owned companies.

Is Programmatic M&A Right for My Business?

Cómo atraer a los compradores adecuados: qué hace que un Negocio Sea más valiosoEn el dinámico mundo de las fusiones y adquisiciones (M&A), vender su empresa es un proceso complejo que requiere planificación estratégica, experiencia en valoraciones y comprensión de lo que buscan los compradores potenciales. Los compradores e inversores se mueven por diversos motivos, como la aceleración del crecimiento, la expansión del mercado y la diversificación de la cartera. Atraer con éxito a los compradores adecuados puede influir significativamente en el precio de venta y en el éxito global de la transacción. Pero, ¿qué es exactamente lo que puede hacer que su empresa sea más valiosa y atractiva para los posibles compradores? Exploremos los factores clave que pueden aumentar el atractivo de su empresa en las fusiones y adquisiciones y cómo puede posicionar su negocio para conseguir el máximo atractivo.Por qué los procesos de venta con múltiples partes son una oportunidad para los compradoresPara muchos adquirentes, las palabras "proceso competitivo " siguen teniendo un trasfondo de fricción. Sugieren distracción, expectativas infladas, presión innecesaria y el riesgo de ser utilizados como una tensión de precios en lugar de una contraparte seria. Sin embargo, esta interpretación a menudo pasa por alto la realidad más profunda. Para la mayoría de los propietarios de empresas, en particular los fundadores y los operadores con muchos años de experiencia, un proceso de venta con varias partes no es un acto de agresión; es un acto de responsabilidad: para con ellos mismos, para con la empresa y para con el comprador.Cómo afectan los tipos de interés a las empresas del mercado medioUn catalizador para el aumento de la actividadTax Risks in M&A TransactionsRecent studies indicate that the most common claims buyers make against sellers for violations of sellers' representations and warranties in M&A purchase agreements relate to tax matters. In reality, there is never just a buyer and a seller in an M&A transaction. Both sides share a silent partner, the taxman. Actually, they both have a "taxman" because Uncle Sam is not the only "silent partner" owed a cut of the target company's profits. State and local authorities, often multiple of each, have a seat at that table. Resultados financieros de los últimos doce meses: por qué son importantes en las fusiones y adquisicionesLos propietarios de empresas suelen dar por sentado que basta con unos buenos resultados históricos. Aunque los resultados pasados son importantes, los compradores se centran más en los resultados recientes a la hora de evaluar un objetivo de adquisición. Los estados financieros anuales y los resultados del año hasta la fecha pueden ser incompletos o engañosos en función del calendario y la estacionalidad. El período de los últimos doce meses salva esta laguna al ofrecer una visión actual y normalizada de los resultados financieros de una empresa.
