Buying a competitor or a complimentary company can be a substantial growth-accelerator for any business yet 83% of acquisitions fail due to the ineffective strategy of the entrepreneur.

Background:

I bought several DVD programs from MBE Education (www.mbeeducation.com.au) a few years ago, bundled together for around $2000

They have updated some of the DVD’s since then, so this program you are downloading here may not be the most current version they are still selling on their website.

However the material here is still good learning if it applies to you.

If you are buying or selling a business you will learn something for sure.

If you are a business consultant or corporate advisor, you should grab these too.

The legal templates are from Australia, but I guess they can be repurposed easily enough, especially other Commonwealth countries.

This particular program is “Mergers and Aquisitions” by Domenic Carosa
