How do you start an M&A discussion?

Locust Walk has conducted an extensive study of mergers and acquisitions in biopharma completed in the past three years and uncovered an interesting trend leaders need to understand: the majority of acquirers only became interested in pursuing an acquisition after they had a chance to view a target company’s detailed data and financials in the context of licensing talks.

Reading this white paper will help clarify:

• Why are most biopharma’s bought, not sold?  Learn why you should let acquirers drive the process.
• How many suitors should you have and how do you fill your dance card?  Learn how an advisor can assist in navigating this process.
• What are the typical milestone events and timelines for a successful biopharma acquisition?  Learn when to time your outreach relative to data availability and when to pivot.

Simply putting a “For Sale” sign on the front door of your company could turn off potential buyers. Read this paper for insights to maximize your chances for success.
