The Value Proposition of Collaboration and Value Growth
|
|
By: Martha Sullivan, CM&AA, Partner, Honkamp, Krueger & Co, P.C.
& Chuck Mohler, CM&AA, Principal, Eagle Corporate Advisors
At the 2017 AM&AA Summer Conference in Chicago, the Alliance unveiled its collaboration model and value proposition "Learn Improve Deal". The framework offers members a way to present the collaborative model to peers as well as clients, outline a high-level approach for collaboration and convey the benefits for bringing a multi-disciplinary team to a business owner.
Advisors include all the different players in the M&A ecosystem including investment bankers, private equity groups, financiers, value growth consultants, accountants, attorneys, wealth managers and so on. Each player has a role in the life cycle of the business, its growth, sale and subsequent support of the business owner.

Three Questions to Answer Before Raising Prices
|
By: Anthony Bahr, Vice President, VOC Strategic Practice, Strategex
The underlying motive for virtually all mergers and acquisitions is the pursuit of value creation, which is also the common denominator shared by buyers and sellers alike.
Going into a deal, investors are commonly sold on the notion that value will be created via cost synergies associated with the integration of the buyer and the seller. However, it is well documented that only a small fraction (about 20%) of post-close value creation can be attributed to the synergistic effects associated with a deal.
Revenue growth, which accounts for roughly 60% of post-close value creation, is the true driver of new value. But unlike cost-cutting, growing revenue is usually a cost center which often renders customer retention and expansion to be overlooked factors of many integration strategies that are built on improving margins.

Bringing up the Middle Market
|
|
By: Kiran Garimella, President, NVIEM Inc.
The cognitive computing revolution is now making inroads into one of the most conservative areas of business-the lower middle market of private companies. Making up 40%-50% of the GDP, this market remains one of the most technologically under-served segments of the economy. Until now. AI and Blockchain are bringing disruptive innovation to this middle market to introduce efficiencies and disintermediation.
The
Alliance of M&A Advisors (The Alliance) that serves the private middle market is coming up on its 20th anniversary in 2018. This international professional network includes 1,100 independent business investment, advisory, and transaction professionals serving private middle market companies.
I've had the pleasure of getting to know
Mike Nall, the principal co-founder and CEO, and his intrepid band of co-founders and thought-leaders. Mike has a breath-taking vision of the enormous potential of the middle market that he feels is unrecognized. More than just the vision-important as it is-Mike has definite ideas of how to transform the entire global marketplace. Since efficient execution of this vision involves elements of both artificial intelligence and blockchain, the two mind-stunning technologies of this era, I couldn't resist sitting down with him to tease out precisely how he plans to do this.

How To Retain Your Existing Business Clients
|
By: Chuck Owston, CM&AA, CEPA, Managing Director, Florida Capital Advisors
As professional advisors, many of us have had long-term relationships with our clients. There is a phenomenon facing a large percentage of our business owner clients - and it is one of advancing age and having their wealth concentrated inside their privately held business.
Everyone has heard the statistics about the baby boomer population approaching retirement age. There are approximately 10,000 people turning 65 every day. While many baby boomers want to continue to work well past the age of 65, there are other considerations that need to be taken into account. Factors such as health, lifestyle, partner disputes, divorce, as well as the personal risk of having a large percentage of one's personal net worth tied to a single asset should all be evaluated as part a business owner's planning decisions.
