Lisa Forrest shares key findings from a survey of 49 entrepreneurs who bought a business after a self-funded search.
The findings discussed were based on these questions:
- How did you find your deal?
- Did you conduct a full-time search?
- How long did you search before you found the deal you closed on?
- Do you think your acquisition price valuation was fair?
- How long did it take you to discuss valuation with the seller?
- Did you have a competitive deal process where multiple buyers were vying for the LOI?
- What do you think the critical success factors were in sourcing and closing your deal?
- Did you go up or down market compared to your original expectations?
