The Liquid Lunch Project Mergers and Acquisitions with Patrick V. Rogers
Many of us who own a small business understand the limited potential for organic growth. Sure, we can add another 10-15%, but those numbers don’t always build the long-term wealth we’re after. Today’s guest is here to speak with us about another option: Mergers and acquisitions.
Patrick V Rogers is a serial entrepreneur and investor turned mentor who has personally coached hundreds of CEOs and organizations as an M&A consultant. He helps his clients acquire companies of equal size - typically one per year - that results in them increasing their business value by 20-25x in five years or less. Why does he do it? As he explains it, “When entrepreneurs win, we create freedom that is the bedrock of the world.” They create generational wealth, are involved in philanthropic endeavors, and give back to their communities.
And there’s never been a better time to do this. With the number of Baby Boomers retiring every day, we’re seeing the largest transfer of wealth in modern history. They want to protect their legacy. They want to protect their people. And they’re going to be looking for someone who will promise and deliver on both. Make no mistake; it’s a buyer's market out there, and with the right strategies in place, you have the opportunity to create the life you’ve always wanted.
When you work with Patrick, he and his team not only TELL you what to do, but they HELP you do it, which means they’re rolling up their sleeves, making calls, doing due diligence, negotiating, and seeing the acquisition through to the end.
