Corporate Acquisitions

Growth through acquisition can be both an effective and efficient method of expansion for your business. But like all rewards, there are certain risks that come along with it. It is crucial that these risks are addressed properly to ensure a successful outcome. If not, not only can the acquisition fail, but often times it can cause irreparable damage to your company.

Here is a list of some of the more common risks associated with an acquisition:

• Rushing the process due to a desire to get an acquisition done quickly
• Becoming enamored with the target company and turning a blind eye to certain risk factors
• Expecting more synergies than are likely to be delivered
• Incomplete due diligence
• Overvaluing the target company
• Underestimating the complexity of post-closing integration
