Getting M&A Deals Across the Finish Line
Episode 23
Wednesday, 18 February, 2026
Selling your company demands significant investment of your time, energy, and emotion. The last outcome anyone wants is for the deal to fall through. While "deal killers" are always a potential risk, many can be prevented or mitigated with the right preparation. Successfully closing deals requires finesse and expertise. At TobinLeff, we’re grateful to have a diversely experienced team that allows us to equalize the playing field and maximize the selling price for business owners. We distilled our extensive experience into 7 key areas that impact the success of a deal closing: 1. Build Relationships: Trust in everyone involved in the transaction is paramount. 2. Prepare in Advance: It’s never too early to begin preparing. From setting realistic valuations to building the right transition team to getting your financials in order. 3. Tell Your Story: Clearly articulate quantitative and qualitative visions for growth. 4. Be Proactive: Address potential issues before they become obstacles. 5. Control the Process: Effectively manage due diligence and communication. 6. Run a Profitable Business: Maintain focus on operations, always assuming the deal might not close. 7. Keep Your Eye on the Prize: Put minor issues in perspective, and remember why you started the process. Selling your company is a marathon, not a sprint.
