Informative presentation by Daniel Boarder! By 2035, 250,000 U.S. Middle Market Companies are anticipated to attempt an exit but only 14,000 will actually sell at desired values. We covered various value drivers: - External (i.e. interest rates, market demand, and competition) that are beyond the seller's control - Internal (i.e. R&D investments, operating systems and margins) that can be controlled by the seller One internal value driver that my team at USI Insurance Services and I can assist a seller with prior to transaction is conducting an audit of top risks and loss drivers, and suggest and help implement ways to mitigate losses, with the help of technology. For financial sponsors, as you move through the diligence process we can assist with the due diligence process and identification of areas of retention and transfer of pre-existing liabilities. Thanks Whitley Penn and Bank United for sponsoring today.
