This book is for the business manager or business owner who is considering a corporate transaction - Buying, Selling or raising money for a business. Acquisitions, MBO's and company sales are complex and often full of arcane language mixed with legal and financial requirements. The risks attached to a deal can be very significant but the rewards for getting it right can be immense.. To add to this complexity there are likely to be substantial emotional and personal motivations on at least one side of the transaction. This book removes or explains much of the jargon, and looks at the transaction stripped back to the fundamental principles.
