How to Make Your Company More Attractive to an Investment Bank

There are many factors that influence how attractive your company is to an investment bank or a Private Equity Group or (PEG) for short. Below is a list of 8 of them for your consideration as you plan your business strategy.

  1. Create an Exit Plan
  2. Strengthen your Contracts – Employees/Customers/Vendors
  3. Secure your Intellectual Property
  4. Complete a Valuation
  5. Round out your Management Team
  6. Audit Financial Statements
  7. Clean-up Ownership Interest/Litigation
  8. Make an Acquisition

These are 8 items that you can implemented in the “short-term” less than a year. There are other strategies that can dramatically increase the longer term (2-3 year) valuation of your company that I’ll discuss in the future.
