Controversial opinion: The M&A process is not about NOT running into icebergs
ā the real challenge is to ANTICIPATE which icebergs you'll run
Working with thousands of M&A professionals, we have access to a lot of industry
data.

ā”ļø Strategy
ā”ļø Picking (and Contacting) Candidates
ā”ļø Negotiation
ā”ļø Due Diligence
ā”ļø Sealing the Deal
ā”ļø Post-M&A Integration
š Here are three of the most common bottlenecks we see:
1) Ego and stakeholders you didn't account for getting in the way
ā clearly defining stakeholders and their interests/roles
2) Unexpected issues
ā account for finding issues when doing due diligence
3) Lack of access to information and documents
ā organize documents and information in a SAFE centralized place and system
