Too many companies spend millions of dollars on unnecessary rebrands. But, sometimes, a rebrand really is essential. If you have a platform company that has recently made significant acquisitions, it may need a new brand identity to reflect the new reality and tell a broader story to the market. A well-managed rebrand can: - Drive more pipeline - Increase ROI by bundling multiple products into a single suite - Increase the valuation of the company itself by making it more of a unified platform. Mike Devine and the team at Fortra recently managed a highly successful rebrand - listen to episode 3 of the Private Equity Value Creation podcast to hear how they handled it.

I have seen an acquisition where after the deal closed the seller did not know the actual deal value, it was different to what the buyer thought 🙈 I am not really sure how this happens BUT I have seen advisors pass information back and forth to multiple parties Sometimes it seems things are a secret there are questions that are overlooked and parties do not seem clear on the answers When we work on deals with customers we think it's just best to have buyer and seller on the same call, it's much easier to get the real information across talking direct to the person of interest I believe if you are struggling to get information from a seller before heads will it actually get any better AND If the sellers have concerns over the deal then just be upfront I speak to so many people who are signing terms next week then suddenly the deal disappears, this generally happens when one party changes terms or expectations I talk quite extensively about my thoughts in our latest podcast episode Do you have anything to add? #acquisitions #terms #duediligence Wilkinson Accounting Solutions

Have you considered buying or selling a transportation business? In this episode, Justin Bailie, Co-founder of Rose Rocket, sits down with Meghan Meurer, Chief Commercial Officer at Tenney Group, to discuss mergers and acquisitions for transportation businesses. Here are three key takeaways for anyone considering M&A in the transportation industry: 1️⃣ Understanding the M&A Market: Meghan highlights the recent trends in the M&A market, emphasizing the importance of scalability and profitability for asset light operations. With an uptick in activity, it's crucial for companies to be aware of buyer profiles and market dynamics to make informed decisions. 2️⃣ Deal Structure Matters: The value of a business isn't solely determined by revenue or EBITDA multiples. The structure of the deal, including contingent considerations and risk-sharing mechanisms, plays a significant role in maximizing the value of a transaction. Buyers and sellers need to focus on de-risking the deal to ensure a smoother and more profitable outcome. 3️⃣ Educate Yourself: Succession planning and preparing for a potential sale require education and strategic planning. Meghan stressed the importance of starting the educational process early, engaging with advisory groups, and considering creative ways to transfer ownership or equity within the business.
