How to improve your odds of M&A success via target sourcing
Sourcing is a key step in deal success. KPMG’s Deal Advisory and Strategy partners reveal several key insights to improve your deal sourcing.
Companies in search of better deals are advised to:
- More closely align the strategy and corporate development functions
- Balance the sourcing of short-term actionable and longer-term desirable targets, and
- Standardize the “first pass” screening criteria to allow quicker gating decisions of valuable targets.
Once those principles are in place, companies should seek to increase their M&A target throughput by developing a market map and work on developing a reputation as efficient and astute acquirers.
