This Week@ Work acquisitions can be a brilliant way to ramp up your business fast, but they are never as simple as they seem. You need to go in with your eyes wide open, especially regarding three key issues: Cost, culture and compatibility. https://lnkd.in/ddZbDXb6

We all have goals in life. We all aspire to do something productive that will help ourselves and others. It's part of our life journey. However, what we ‘want to do’ and what we ‘want to be’ may not necessarily be the same thing. ‘Being’ is more about internal personal development and doing is mostly related to external acquisitions. However, both are important and can lead to successful lives.

Sort of answering Andrew's question ... Who do I like to pursue when we're placing a senior acquisitions hire? When you can't find a successful acquisitions person from a different firm, I like VP-level brokerage candidates (from your target market). Why? They'll know all the brokers in your market and are likely already well-networked. Additionally, they've seen a lot of deals and likely have a good gut instinct. For a junior acquisitions role, you can pull good ones from brokerage or other investment firms. There is a massive supply of folks wanting to get into CRE acquisitions, so you can typically be picky. PS - Andrew D. Kuhn runs a great shop. Check him out.

Q: What is the danger of a CEO pursuing an acquisition out of ego or for empire-building, rather than for strategic alignment? A: The acquisition may not contribute to the company's core strengths or market position, leading to a drain on resources. When acquisitions are driven by ego, it's like adding random pieces to a puzzle. They may not fit and can distract from reinforcing the company's core strengths, leading to a misallocation of resources and a weakened market position.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Business Acquisitions Midweek wisdom! Acquiring a business is a complex journey with potential pitfalls that can derail your success. Let’s navigate these challenges together by understanding the common mistakes and how to avoid them. By anticipating issues and addressing them proactively, you can ensure a smoother transition and maximize the value of your acquisition. Here are some key pitfalls to watch out for: Inadequate Due Diligence: Skipping thorough due diligence can lead to unforeseen issues post-acquisition. Always delve deep into the financial and operational details of the target company. Overpaying: Avoid the trap of overpaying by ensuring a fair and justified valuation. Overpaying can strain your finances and diminish the acquisition’s potential return on investment. Cultural Clash: Differences in corporate culture can lead to integration difficulties and employee dissatisfaction. Address cultural differences early and foster a unified culture. Poor Integration: Without a solid integration plan, the transition can be rocky, disrupting business operations and reducing the acquisition's value. Avoiding these pitfalls can set you up for a successful acquisition.
