The 1980s saw the beginning of the greatest merger boom in history. Year after year, the number of mergers and acquisitions climbed. Mergers between large companies make headlines, but companies of any size may find it beneficial to engage in mergers and acquisitions. Author H. Lee Rust explains the basics of acquisitions in clear, simple prose for companies that are too small to make the evening news. His book will be most useful to small- and medium-sized firms whose leaders lack experience in acquisitions. He provides sound, practical advice, easy-to-use checklists, and a CD-ROM workbook with spreadsheets, calculations, sample letters and more. If you manage a small company, we suggest reading this book before you get involved in your first acquisition.

Small companies can most readily expand through mergers and acquisition processes - but most smaller operations don't have any understanding of how that's done. LET'S BUY A COMPANY: HOW TO ACCELERATE GROWTH THROUGH ACQUISITIONS covers all the basics for companies of all sizes, from purchase price negotiations and due diligence research to understanding legal reorganization structures and debt management. From initial queries and exchanges of information to understanding common pitfalls, LET'S BUY A COMPANY covers all aspects of the acquisition process using language and insights newcomers to the process can appreciate and readily understand.

Lee is the unsung professional on really getting a deal done. His book is all meat on the buy, sell and acquisitions strategy. Reading this book is a shortcut to being a success in this area. I so liked the book I called and met with Lee in Orlando to discuss the subject. He is the real deal and not just an book author putting together a book. He has coached and done these deals his whole life...

A good primer on this subject. A liitle thin on valuation of target company.

Acquistions are not only for large public corporations. But, if you are a smaller private company, where do you start? This book explains the entire acquisition procedure from how to locate the right acquistion, negotiating a price, to structuring and closing the deal and every step in-between. If you WANT TO LEARN EVEN MORE about Mr. Rust's approach to expanding your business through acquistions and you live in Florida, plan to attend an upcoming seminar in your area. Seminars are being held in Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, and Fort Lauderdale. Just go to www.acquistionseminar.com for complete information.
