Description

Welcome to my World… of Corporate Finance, Mergers and Acquisitions and Selling Companies
This is my Corporate Finance Course – for you
If you are an Entrepreneur, a Senior Manager or a Business School Student – this is going to help you!
Are you struggling to master M&A?  Then let’s join forces as I have nearly 30 years experience in this field!
Let me explain:
•Process
•Valuation
•Negotiation
•Strategies
•Tactics and Tips
And much more!
In M&A the difference between right and catastrophic can cost you a fortune, some times literally millions of dollars.
As an adviser, I have been there many, many times in the last 29 years.  I have seen good, sometimes even great. And I have seen downright awful!  (Of course, that was good news if I was on the other side at the time).
So this course is for you…
These are my real insights from my experience, pulled together to help you understand some of the pitfalls of the sales process which will hopefully prepare you for your company’s sale.
You don’t have to follow my advice here, but you have nothing to lose by checking it out and then using what works for you!
This is my Corporate Finance Centre of Excellence and all my Corporate Finance content will be updating in this course – I will no longer create more and more related courses, so join me today and tell me what you want me to add to improve the course!
Above all, I want your company’s sale to be a success.  Hopefully, this will help. And if it does, even a little bit, the value multiplier for you could still be worth thousands of dollars.

What makes us qualified to teach you?
This is a Finance course taught by a 30+ year, Managing Director level, Investment Banker – from a practical perspective – I also have an MBA (with Distinction).

“Fantastically put together course and content – very informative and lecturer was very knowledgeable and insightful! Highly Recommend for anyone interested in learning the Fundamentals of PE / VC” Aakarsh
“Very helpful, relevant and insightful I am a professional in Investment Banking and I learned a lot about the processes that senior bankers (VP’s and MD’s) deal with on a regular basis in detail: Section 4 and onwards was what I was looking for before I purchased the course and I feel my needs were met beyond expectations. One could inaccurately be “concerned” because of the short durations of the videos and think that the content is “brief”, “light” or “superficially” covered – it definitely isn’t: I’ve never seen videos in which, literally, every second contained information completely relevant and essential to the topic. I frequently paused videos to take notes. Also the attachments provided as guidance are very detailed and insightful.” Daniel
