In today’s accelerated deal-making environment, the chances of making a bad business decision are infinitely higher. Further, with the recent issues in the debt capital market -- thorough, differentiated diligence could make all the difference. Never before has the necessity for timely and solid company assessment been so crucial.
So, we invite you to join us for a special MasterClass on Due Diligence, in which we’ll tackle the myriad concerns faced by buyers seeking to acquire a company. You’ll hear from a banquet of 25 seasoned experts, each of whom will dissect a specific niche area of due diligence, allowing you the full opportunity to delve into the many issues.
Hosted by Howard Morgan, Senior Managing Director of Castle Harlan Inc. and a veteran with more than 20 years of experience in private equity dealings around the globe, this MasterClass will save you enormous amounts of grief, not to mention time and money, by providing you with a host of ways to improve the odds of a deal’s success and ultimately outperform.
You’ll discover how a proper due diligence game plan can quickly reveal hidden impediments and expose much that may be wrong with a company. You’ll also see how a high-quality plan can unearth a company’s hidden value and upside potential, providing a competitive advantage.
By the end of the full-day program not only will you be fully versed in each specialty area, but you will also be amply equipped to conduct your own due diligence. Furthermore, you will have met a multitude of top ranking specialists who can be readily contacted for assistance.
