When a private equity (PE) firm contacts you directly about buying your business, it can seem like an easy path to a sale. However, navigating this process without professional guidance can lead to missed opportunities or unfavorable terms. That’s why it’s crucial to involve experienced M&A professionals like Josh Gladtke and Good Hope Advisors from the very beginning. Here’s why:
