The payments industry has experienced a record number of deals in 2018 with no end in sight. As valuations continue to soar so does the interest in doing transactions. Based on our extensive experience in the payments industry, here are the top 10 M & A mistakes to avoid:
- Assuming the Deal is Done after the LOI Stage
- Being Unprepared for Due Diligence
- Asking for a High Valuation with No Rationale
- Figuring Buyers Won’t Discover Problems in the Financials
- Underestimating the Other Side’s Sophistication
- Failing to Understand Who Really Has the Power
- Withholding Material Information
- Blabbing about the Deal Before It Closes
- Calling the Sellers Employees, Customers and Vendors without Permission
- Underestimating the time it takes to close the deal
