American Express Features Mark Holdreith’s M&A Advice for Founders in New Article
On January 19th, 2024 American Express (AMEX) published an article titled “Business Valuation: Importance, Formula and Examples” on the AmericanExpress.com website. AMEX’s content production team reached out to Mark Holdreith, Co-Founder of Media Advisory Partners for guidance related to preparing a business for sale.
AMEX’s interview of Mark features prominently in the article. Mark explained that business-founders should prepare their business for sale far in advance of actually selling.
Why?
Mark argues that preparing your business for sale early creates a positive feed-back loop for founders. By ensuring that a company’s financial statements, legal-risk, and customer relationships are all in-order for a future sale, founders also increase the present performance and value of their business. According to Mark, having a “better understanding of the factors that drive value can help owners prepare for a sale… and improve business operations and performance in the meantime.”
