The Burns saying, "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry," is particularly relevant to middle market deals which head south post-closing. Typically, earnings misses are attributed to superficial reasons described in timeworn financial expressions that do little to pinpoint the true underlying root cause of the issue. Rather than explain it away, buyers should go deeper and understand the real reasons for the problem. This webinar explores the various root causes for under performance and what a buyer can do before the deal closes to bring this knowledge into the front end of their diligence process. #AcquisitionFinance #BusinessDevelopment #CapitalStrategy #FinanceOptions #MergersAndAcquisitions #BusinessGrowth #InvestmentOpportunities #FundingStrategies #CorporateDevelopment #FinancialPlanning https://lnkd.in/eWzVpZNN

What is the point of setting weak goals? We set an aggressive sales growth goal of 30% in January. Midway through 2024, we are actually behind 2023. That's a lot of catching up to do. One might think I'd be disappointed. On the contrary, it's grinding time. With 21 deals done as of today and a record 28 deals under contract, the balance of 2024 is going to be intense. Being comfortable is overrated. https://lnkd.in/evgSHqkn #mergersandacquisitions #investmentbanking #closingdeals #grandrapidsmi

Preparing for Serious Capital Raising to Acquire Steel Companies I am about to begin serious capital raising to start buying up steel companies in a niche focus to consolidate and apply the morganisation strategy. One thing I underestimated was the administrative workload involved in systemizing a small to medium company—seriously—there is too much paperwork you have to absolutely do yourself to create the first systems and then test them. Worse still, they will require 3-5 iterations before they make sense. And then the realism of inefficiency—to change fast—while not changing the value proposition is challenging. Operations, Administration, and Strategy in this order = initial building blocks of an acquisition play where niche is the focus. Morganisation: When you acquire small and medium companies and corporatize them into a large company where an opportunity is present, merging them into a platform company. The twist in Australian steel is that this involves maintaining brand and goodwill, alongside a critical shortage of skilled and experienced staff who can actually help you. You have to train from the ground up! So, to do this, you have to become an expert first.
