M&A Mindset Intro
Good morning.
A deal may start with a headline value, but a lot has to come together before that value becomes a completed transaction.
This week's Framework introduces the Deal Equation Framework, a look at the components that ultimately determine what a deal is worth to a seller. Enterprise value is only the starting point. Structure, adjustments, risk, timing, and certainty all influence the actual outcome.
This week's Brief, The Deal Document Stack, breaks down five documents sellers encounter along the way from the NDA through the Purchase Agreement. Each serves a different purpose, carries a different level of commitment, and moves the transaction one step closer to closing.
As always, no cost, no hidden agenda, just clarity.

The number may define the offer. But the terms define the deal.
