Acquiring for growth or preparing for sale

For SMEs, growth and exit strategies often revolve around mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Whether you’re looking to acquire another business to expand your market or prepare your own company for sale, having the right strategy is crucial.

Why M&A Matters for SMEs

Growth through Acquisition: Acquiring another business can provide instant access to new markets, customers, and capabilities.

Preparing for a Sale: A well-prepared business is more attractive to buyers, increasing the chances of a successful exit at a premium price.
