My concern, based on my direct experience negotiating half a dozen acquisitions sine 2008 (three in 2012), both inside and outside of technology, is that the negotiating environment for such ‘ acquisition-ready ’ companies is fraught with challenge from the seller’s perspective. I agree with Dennis.

Banks often have operating covenants for their loans that require the company to be hitting plan, or close to it. These firms typically charge more than banks and have higher warrant coverage, but have fewer restrictions on the use of capital, no covenants, and will often lend more than a bank will.

The same goes for "non-competes" or non- solicitation covenants. But I would say that presenting an NDA is not amateurish; sometimes a business person is required by investors or primes to do so. What is amateurish is presenting poorly written or lopsided ones. Ultimately, trust is not new and always has been important. zuccaro.joe. |
