Description
Executives and upper-level managers dream of owning their own company. This book combines inspirational “you can do it” prose with comprehensive guidance on “how” to do it. In step-by-step detail readers learn everything they need to know to buy their own company. The book covers how to: find a company to purchase; develop a business plan; negotiate with the seller; win the “ground war” of due diligence; find equity partners and negotiate the management deal with investors; and run the company after the MBO. Author Rick Rickertsen supplies wisdom and know-how he has acquired in handling over 50 successful buyouts, combining a personal, advice-filled writing style with hard information. The book covers both insider buyouts and how to buyout someone else’s company and is filled with real-world case studies that make the points clear.
