Private equity buyers are increasingly becoming key players in the acquisition of mid-market private companies as they look for high returns and good deals. How can you ensure your company is “ready” for such an acquisition?

We will explore the red flags and deal-breakers PE buyers look for and share insights into making yourself more attractive to a buyer, including through your IP portfolio, corporate structures, employment agreements, customer/supplier relationships and contracts, and insurance coverage.
