M&A For Innovation – Part 1: Innovation and M&A are not mutually exclusive.??But you better be REALLY clear on the “why”.??Otherwise, this is a nasty mix of distracting and expensive. Greg Beck Conducting Strategic Transactions With Greg Beck https://lnkd.in/gstpFqKV

Kate Vriner, CBI, Gerry Chadwick, CBI and I were reviewing??the article below and it caused us to reflect on what we do and why we do it. At both Sunbelt Business Advisors and FocalPoint Advisory Services, we understand that selling a business is far from a simple transaction—it’s a journey that requires foresight, preparation, and a commitment to creating long-term value. Many business owners, however, are so focused on the day-to-day that they don’t realize how certain decisions, or a lack of planning, could significantly impact the value of their business when it’s time to sell. That’s where we think we can make all the difference. We work closely with you to anticipate and address the common pitfalls outlined here. From helping you untangle commingled finances to diversifying your customer base, we guide you in making adjustments that add stability, resilience, and value to your business. We also know that a well-documented business, where operations are smooth and key relationships aren’t overly dependent on the owner, is not only more attractive to buyers but also easier to manage in the long run. Our approach is proactive. The sooner you connect with us the more we can help. We help you establish a foundation that allows you to step back from the business while still driving growth, making it sale-ready at any moment. With FocalPoint by your side and Sunbelt focused on the sale, you’re not just preparing for the future—you’re creating a business that thrives today and offers maximum value tomorrow.

M&A For Innovation – Part 2: 1+1 CAN equal 4 but it will take a radically different, collaborative mindset where the pie gets bigger rather than simply dividing up what you have now.??Greg Beck Conducting Strategic Transactions With Greg Beck. https://lnkd.in/gakxsHZm

As a follow up to our previous post, was reviewing the theme of this with Kate Vriner, CBI and Gerry Chadwick, CBI as well and it touched on a similar theme as what we posted earlier. Selling a business is complex, and ensuring it’s both attractive to buyers and set up for optimal value requires more than a simple checklist. A seasoned M&A advisor can be invaluable here. At Sunbelt, we help you address key areas that buyers scrutinize—often with an eye for details that might go overlooked.??These are the things that part-time, less experienced advisors will miss.? For example, we guide you in reducing customer concentration, which is a common deal breaker, by strategizing ways to diversify your client base and minimize risks that make buyers hesitant. We also help you clarify your financials, not just for accuracy but for storytelling, so buyers understand your business’s value at a glance. Many businesses get held back by overly optimistic pricing or unstructured processes, and we ensure you’re positioned realistically, with clear, documented systems that showcase the business’s resilience and potential. From team improvements to setting effective KPIs, an M&A advisor brings expertise that turns abstract goals into actionable steps, each one adding to the business’s appeal and stability. Ultimately, we’re here to ensure your business is sale-ready, built not just to attract buyers, but to command respect—and a fair price. With the right guidance, your business becomes a solid investment, primed for a smooth transition. Greg Beck https://lnkd.in/gD3BxT2K #mergersandacqusitions #exitplanning?
