Preparing for a Successful Acquisition April 28, 2011

Informative Seminar from The Brenner Group, K&L Gates and Next Step
April 28th San Francisco and May 5th Mountain View

The last two years reconfirms that our business environment is highly unpredictable. So you may not know in advance when the acquirer that will make your company's owners and employees liquid (and potentially wealthy) will show up and have the staying power to complete the transaction in potentially difficult business conditions. Do you know what is needed in your business structure to make your company a good acquisition target? Could you manage the accounting, business and legal issues that will surface during an acquisition?

Businesses which have closed a successful acquisition often attribute the outcome to careful advance planning and the leadership team's ability to proactively make the right financial, legal and market decisions. It is too late to try to fix major business, legal and accounting problems once the acquisition process has commenced. This 90 minute program will provide you with practical tips and information on how to ready your company based on experience with real acquired companies and the problems they faced.
