Learn how to sell your startup from an acquisition expert
Many entrepreneurs dream of the day their company is acquired and they secure a perfect exit. But information about the process of getting your business acquired usually comes from expensive investment bankers who typically advise late-stage startups.
In Selling Your Startup, serial entrepreneur Alejandro Cremades delivers an accessible guide on how to sell your startup. With first-hand experience as a fully exited entrepreneur, investment banker, and lawyer, Cremades describes the tips and tricks startup founders need to sell their early-stage to growth-stage business.
In this book, you’ll discover:
- The role that investment bankers play in the acquisition process, how they add value, and how to break down their fees
- Preparing your company for sale, including compiling a pitch book, putting its finances in order, and building a target list of potential acquirers
- How to get to a Letter of Intent, perform due diligence, and reach a purchase agreement
Perfect for entrepreneurs of all kinds, Selling Your Startup is a must-have roadmap to the practical realities of company acquisition and contains proven guidance on crafting your perfect exit.
