Same Data. Different Value. Why?
For those of us who’ve been on both the buy side and the sell side of acquisitions for many years…
Why do you think two experienced teams can review the same financials, customer data, and operating metrics, yet walk away with very different views of what the business is actually worth?
What information, assumptions, or patterns consistently cause that gap?
I’m curious whether there are common themes others have observed during diligence, negotiations, and ultimately closing the deal.
