Pest control merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions can be complex. Sellers often receive many opinions — but if those opinions aren’t from qualified professionals, that advice can be drastically wrong. It could even end up costing a seller a lot of money via purchase price, payouts and taxes.
For Pest Management Professional magazine, I wrote about the purchase and sale process, which is important to be familiar with before you head down any M&A path.
I cover details about the following steps:
- Non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
- Deep dive
- Requested information
- Short list of buyers
- Letter of intent (LOI)
- Due diligence
- Purchase agreement
- The closing
