Printing Industries' next business webinar on Wednesday, May 14 will focus on the topical question of industry mergers and acquisitions and whether printing companies should be observers or participants in their own spheres.
There is a common misconception that those that merge or sell must be in trouble. That’s most often plain wrong for mergers and for sellers often inaccurate. For both groups their decision is often based on clear analysis of the present situation and the need to change. In the case of a merger perhaps to form a better future and in the case of the seller - potentially a variety of reasons including retirement / part of an exit strategy, an unwillingness to invest more money into capital investments or because the timing is right to achieve the best ROI.
Webinar presenter will be Richard Rasmussen, director of Ascent Partners, who is a 30-plus year industry veteran. His business has conducted over 100 business appraisals and valuations and over 30 business sales. The company is the preferred Australian provider of business appraisal and business sales services for Printing Industries of Australia.
Rasmussen says that in the current climate one could be forgiven for thinking that business mergers and acquisitions were just for big players. “In reality they are for any forward thinking businesses of all sizes and for those that aspire to grow, improve profitability and build a more sustainable business model.”
