The Owner's Edge
How Middle-Market Owners Buy Right, Get Great Value, and Sell for MoreBy Bill CanadyRecorded TrackLength6h 18m
About this audiobook
Buy right. Get great value. Sell for more. The Owner’s Edge gives owners and founders the professional’s acquisition process, built for someone with a company to run. Buy right, with a walk-away number set before you meet a seller and gates that kill the wrong deals early. Get great value, with integration designed before closing and a first hundred days that start the money. Sell for more, with a company a buyer could take over on any Monday and terms you wrote before a banker said a number. One deal between two owners runs through every chapter, with every number shown. Acquisitions are jet fuel — if you get them right. Narrated by a digital replica of the author's voice.
