In this session, we'll cover 3 areas that every founder contemplating a sale should understand:

  • How to navigate the M&A world: Understanding how the M&A intermediary market works, particularly for businesses valued below $50 million or $100 million, and why the advice you receive makes a huge difference.

  • When not to use an M&A Advisor: Why hiring a banker or broker isn't always the right decision, and how to determine what kind of support you actually need.

  • The contractual terms that can come back to bite you: Key provisions in M&A advisory agreements that founders should understand and negotiate before signing.

We'll spend around 20 minutes exploring these topics, followed by an open Q&A where you can put your questions directly to Niraj Shah and Damien H. Weinstein.

Whether you're actively considering a sale or want to understand your options for the future, this session will help you approach the process with much greater clarity and confidence.

Presented by DKZ Equity in partnership with Weinstein & Klein.
