There are only two ways to expand a business:
- Grow it organically by making more sales and more profit and then ploughing those profits back into the business.
- Buy another business, or find a partner business and merge it with yours.
In his new course, John Taylor focuses on the second - quicker but more risky - option.
Whether it's a merger or a takeover, the expansion will be a leap into the unknown and therefore an act of faith. No matter how much preliminary investigation and negotiation goes on the full truth never emerges until the businesses are actually joined.
Growing Your Business Through Acquisition provides the tools and techniques you need to be able to understand how to grow your business through mergers and acquisitions and the pitfalls and issues to be aware of along the way.
John has written two other courses for accountingcpd.net: Forensic Accounting and Ethical Compliance, and is currently working on a fourth course which will be published later in the year on Financial Crime Prevention.
