PERSPECTIVE TARGETS FURTHER GROWTH AFTER TAKEOVERS // “We thank both Richard and Nick for putting their faith in us when deciding on the most suitable acquirer for their businesses. Both businesses ticked the boxes in terms of client-centricity, and our flexible deal structures have allowed Richard and Nick to sell on terms that suit them.” Financial planning and wealth management firm Perspective Financial Group Ltd, which has offices in Newcastle, Darlington, Hexham and Harrogate, is eyeing further growth after completing takeovers for Whittington Goddard Associates and Copthorne Financial Services. The deals – which have added around £185 million assets under advice to Perspective’s books – mean the company has bought 11 businesses this year and 89 since its foundation 16 years ago.

The big national players are getting all of the headlines. Blackstone, KKR, and now EQR are making big apartment acquisitions at what they perceive to be an opportune time in the market. I believe that, too. You know who else believes it? The big local investor in your market. Here are a couple of examples in markets I know well: - Bigos Management has made major acquisitions in Minneapolis (the city, not MSA) - The Spieker Companies keeps buying on the Peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area (new deal just announced last week) What do these groups have in common? They're long-term owners. They invest where they live. They're accumulating when others are fearful. And in markets that have been written-off by many. I know it's happening in other markets as well, by the same profile of owner.

Family businesses have many options to expand and grow their operations. 90% are open to private equity investments* and around 60% have pursued mergers and acquisitions to enter new industries and geographies.** What should family businesses look for in new opportunities to scale to ensure they are successful for the long-term? Mark Kaufman, founder and executive chairman of Athletico Physical Therapy, says he wanted a partner with a deep knowledge base and future-oriented outlook when choosing a private equity firm to grow his franchise. "They knew a lot about the industry, knew all the players and their similarities and differences, and asked fair, yet challenging questions about what we wanted to do with the business over time," says Kaufman.

Reputation is paramount. Warren Buffett emphasizes that while we can afford to lose money, even substantial amounts, we cannot afford to compromise our reputation. Berkshire Hathaway, under Buffett's leadership, has long benefited from its sterling reputation, which has been instrumental in its success, including fruitful acquisitions. Buffett emphasizes that protecting this reputation is non-negotiable; it's taken decades to build, but it could be tarnished irreparably in mere minutes. --- #BusinessEthics #LeadershipValues #WarrenBuffett #InvestmentWisdom #EntrepreneurialMindset #BusinessGrowth

The world of business acquisitions: it's intense, exhilarating, and can sometimes feel like buying a mystery box off the internet. Strap in, folks, because this rollercoaster isn't for the faint of heart. Ever seen a toddler try to build a Lego skyscraper? Yeah, that's kind of like your first acquisition—chaotic, unpredictable, but oh-so-rewarding if you get it right. • Money talks, but things can still go south faster than a snowbird in January. • Due diligence is your life raft in a sea of legal jargon and numbers that don't add up. • Culture clash? More like culture explosion. Get ready to merge not just spreadsheets, but people and values too. But, hey, why stop there? Imagine the excitement of turning a failing company into a phoenix, or is it a phoenix about to turn into ashes? Business acquisitions are where dreams meet reality—and sometimes they bicker. Ultimately, it’s a strategic gamble with potentially high-stakes returns. So, are you in, or are you out? Choose wisely. The adventure awaits. https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV #BusinessAcquisitions #EntrepreneurLife #RiskAndReward #CorporateCulture #StrategicPlanning #MergersAndAcquisitions #Leadership #Finance #DueDiligence

Business acquisitions: the corporate equivalent of a wedding, except the cake is made of profits, the vows are clauses, and the honeymoon phase involves audits and integration plans. Sounds romantic, doesn’t it? Sure, you might imagine CEOs playing a game of Monopoly with real companies, but in reality, it's an intricate dance that blends cunning strategy and bold risks. It's like chess but with golden parachutes and swanky boardrooms. - If executed well, acquisitions can propel businesses toward unprecedented growth. - If botched, they can be the business world's version of a Shakespearean tragedy. Why do businesses pursue acquisitions? To dominate new markets, absorb cutting-edge tech, or simply because they can. But beware—some deals are like a Pandora’s box wrapped in dollar bills. Open it at your peril. Is it an adventure worth embarking on? Absolutely, if you've got the guts, the savvy, and maybe just a sprinkle of luck. In the end, business acquisitions are as thrilling as they are perilous. Only the brave need apply. https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV #BusinessAcquisitions #CorporateStrategy #RiskAndReward #CEOLife #MarketDomination #BusinessGrowth
