It all started when I met Jack...

a Business Owner who was not quite sure if he was ready to sell.

I'm Ready To Get Started.

Jack and I had met a few times. Always at his favorite diner. He felt it might be time to sell, but he wasn't 100% sure. He kept thinking about it and buying me lunch. It was a subject he found hard to ignore because he kept getting calls and emails from private equity groups and strategic buyers who wanted to buy his company. And he ignored them. Until Warren Buffet called.

Not Warren himself, but a division of Warren's company ...  Berkshire Hathaway. Jack thought he should run that one by me. He did. And we went into rapid response mode. One thing led to another, and Jack's business is now Warren's. 

You, as a business owner, probably get emails and phone calls all the time from people saying they want to buy your company. Some of these are probably just fishing expeditions. Some are probably quite serious. But how do you know the difference? How do you respond without putting yourself and your business at risk? What if you would really like to sell and want to know what they would pay for your business? 
 

We have answers for you. And those answers can be found in a brand-new version of our M&A Mastery Program. We call it the “Rapid Response” version.

We boiled our flagship 8-week program into a 3-week program because some owners need to know how to respond to an inquiry in days, not weeks. And that's what the Rapid Response version is designed to do ...to get you in the game right now.

We will help you engage with buyers from a position of strength almost immediately. Teaching you what you need to know now and giving you unlimited live access to an experienced M&A advisor during the program.

After Jack's transaction closed, he sent me a message. He said, "I suppose it is time for hell to freeze over".  

He didn't think a multi-billion-dollar company would ever buy his small company. When we first responded, he asked me if I really thought it was possible. I told him what I knew to be true and what is true for you. It's a whole lot easier to engage with a buyer when they call you.

Maybe it's time for you to stop ignoring those inquiries and see if your ship has finally come in?

A New Perspective:

Selling a business is complex, but it's not a mystery.

Matt Coyne has been selling privately held businesses for over 20 years, His perspective ...

  • The things an owner needs to do to make their business more valuable and attractive are surprisingly few.
  • The investment needed is usually time and attention vs. money. And the payback is often astounding.
  • The best thing most owners can do to improve the outcome when they sell is to simply start.
