There are many legitimate reasons for acquiring another company. These include:
- Expanding your markets
- Acquiring people, systems or processes
- Acquiring new products, services or customers
- Achieving economies of scale
- Reducing expenses
- Creating opportunities for cross-selling
- Acquiring new distribution systems
- Eliminating competition
Ultimately, however, all legitimate reasons for contemplating an acquisition fall
under one all-encompassing umbrella -- the desire or need for quick and
substantial growth.
When you get down to it, the only real reason to acquire a company is to create
significant growth. If you want to grow incrementally, don't bother with an
acquisition.
To tell if an acquisition makes sense for your business, ask three simple questions:
- What are the different ways I could grow my business?
- Could an acquisition help me achieve that growth?
- What larger, strategic goals will that growth help me accomplish?
