You want to grow your business, but the practicalities of keeping the doors open keep getting in the way. Between constant competition for customers, finding and training employees, and maintaining your profit margin, growth often seems like a pipe dream.

There's another way. Acquisitions can turn your business dreams into reality. With twenty years' experience as an acquisitions intermediary, John Martinka knows the ins and outs of the industry. In Company Growth by Acquisition Makes Dollars & Sense, he guides you through the strategies you need to purchase and nurture additional business interests.

Starting with nineteen compelling reasons to consider growth through acquisition, Martinka explains how to find the "hidden" market: businesses not actively listed for sale but open to offers. He covers financing, deal structure, due diligence, valuation, and how to build a winning transition plan. Most importantly, he shows you how to get the deal done so you can reap the profits.

From financing options to the importance of developing a positive relationship with sellers, Martinka offers a nine-step process to grow your business through the exciting world of acquisitions-all supported by real-life examples and interviews. If you're ready to grow your business, you need this book.
