The Impact Of Interest Rate Reductions On M&A Transactions

The Federal Reserve recently reduced interest rates by 50 basis points (4.75%-5.00%), the first rate reduction in over four years. This swing in policy change and significant first reduction is a major statement, with further cuts likely to occur in the foreseeable future. For the M&A market, this news brings opportunities for sellers, with lower borrowing costs leading to more favorable terms and an overall smoother process.

Essential Questions to Ask Potential Buyers During the M&A Process

When navigating the M&A process, it is crucial for sellers to thoroughly assess potential buyers early on to ensure a good fit. After buyers review your Confidential Information Memorandum, they will naturally ask for a call with you to learn more. Here is a list of essential questions to ask every prospective acquirer:

Understanding Earnings: Profit, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Maintainable Earnings?

Your deal team will discuss and present your company’s earnings to potential buyers, beginning with the Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM), and subsequently in a more detailed analysis as the process progresses.
