Mergers and Acquisitions Even in the scaled down (not so corporate) arena of sporting and athletic organizations, M & A and divestitures are important to business success, growth drives value creation, and acquisitions provide expansion, when organic growth is limited. Successful deals require careful planning, due diligence, valuation, and skilled negotiation. Also, regularly reviewing and pruning your organization over time, helps sustain capacity to deliver value. We partner with organizations throughout the entire process, to help them take a more strategic, proactive approach.
