7 common mistakes made by sellers in mergers and acquisitions
By Adam Price
Adams Price is a managing director of P&M Corporate Finance (PMCF) and has more than 30 years of professional experience in strategic planning and execution for mergers and acquisitions. Price discusses the common mistakes made by sellers in mergers and acquisitions.
Price looks at some of the most common mistakes businesses make and give an example of what to watch for. For example:
1. Seller doesn’t know what state and local taxes (SALT) are involved
2. Seller’s company management is too concentrated
3. Seller lacks awareness of pension plan liabilities
Price goes over four additional topics on Mergers and acquisitions for his readers. He notes that “All things being equal, a well-run company with a consistent method and practice for developing, maintaining and executing multi-faceted strategic plans over several periods is more valuable than those that do not.”
