Through hard work, ingenuity, and possibly a bit of good luck, you've built a successful business and/or as a result of maturing markets, increased levels of competition, pricing pressures, the need for value-added product and service differentiation, or simply as an exit strategy, you believe you're ready to sell or merge with another company, or build out a vertical business unit—or at least you're thinking about it. But the process may seem intimidating, and you probably have lots of questions. Whether you want to handle the whole thing yourself or work with lawyers, accountants, contractors and other professionals, you should investigate the use of an expert in this arena.

On the other side of the spectrum, you may have decided, or are considering acquiring a new business either because of geographic or industry expansion or to simply increase the revenue and profit stream, by buying a strategic fitting business unit in order to continue to grow your company.

Regardless of whether you are considering selling/merging, buying or building, there's likely to be a buyer or seller out there that would be a good match for you. But finding the right business and buying or selling the business on favorable terms will require both planning and hard work.
