It’s not uncommon for a detached professional mindset to take hold when approaching a potential business sale or acquisition. This mindset on the part of the seller suggests all the seller needs to do is present an attractive description of the company’s performance, position, assets, and management talent. From the buyer’s standpoint, a professionally detached mindset may presume that success is assured by a thorough due diligence checklist; careful assessment of the target company’s market position, asset capital, and management assets; and by an analysis of the acquisition’s fit with the buyer’s strategic plan.
All of these factors are important when presenting a business for sale, or considering a business for acquisition or merger. However, a successful business sale often depends just as heavily on soft factors that are not directly related to the classic metrics of a business’s performance. Consideration of these “soft” influences requires taking a step back from the details of the valuation and transaction. In order to ensure success, the sale process should consider and communicate the underlying goals of the buyer and seller to each other, their clients, and their employees.
