Join Highland Bank and Club E | Minneapolis to go “behind the scenes” to talk about what really happens during an acquisition!

No, it’s not the latest reality tv show, it’s the latest EPI Chapter meeting topic! In a joint meeting with Club Entrepreneur, we’ll be going “behind the scenes” to talk about what really happens during an acquisition. We’ll be convening a panel of business owners and experts, some of whom have experienced both successful and unsuccessful acquisitions during their careers, to talk about the hands-on reality of buying another company. Many mergers and acquisitions are not successful, and we’ll be sharing a checklist of factors you’ll need to consider, including rationale, budgets, culture, staffing and more. For a real-world look into this issue, join Club E and moderator Julie Keyes, President of the Twin Cities EPI Chapter.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to vet possible acquisition candidates and not just from the numbers side of the equation.
• Identify who the main advisers are when a business owner is in pursuit of buying another company and the roles they play.
• Identify the obstacles that could derail a successful M & A Integration and what the key components are to a successful integration.
• Learn the Due Diligence process of a Buy Side Transaction.
