About

"Most large companies don't want to buy something for what it is today. They want to buy for what it can be tomorrow." - Frederic Lebourg

Most people would like to think there is a right time to sell a business. However, according to Frederic, acquisitions are driven mainly by circumstances such as the owner needing money, the specific company no longer fitting in the portfolio, or the acquisition being part of a larger strategy.
