Any good resources that helped you to get started with company acquisition?

by a searcher

1 year ago

I'm still quite new to search funds, company evaluation, sourcing for good deals, and acquiring companies.

Any practical tips or good resources to read/watch to get up to speed?

I'm specifically interested in software companies, but open to hear any feedback / opinions about other industries.

Thanks!

Second James's recommendation. Both great books.

Primer and Jim Stein's blog are great resources, I advise you to look into proprietary deal sourcing methods to boost your search.
