What's Your "Sellability"?
Austin Dale Group can provide you with the tools to determine the best exit strategy for you and your company.  Get started by taking the free "Sellability Score" survey and learn how your company would measure up if you really tried to sell it.
 
 
The Sellability Score software uses an advanced algorithm that weighs dozens of different variables to determine how easy it would be to sell your business.  Take the confidential on-line questionnaire and find out:
  • The Sellability Score of your business, including where it ranks on the scale of being easy or hard to sell.
  • Your best options for selling your business depending on your score.
  • The most important (and often overlooked) questions you should ask yourself to determine if your business is ready to sell.

What's Your "Sellability"?
Global M&A Activity Hit by Economic Slowdown 
Mergers and acquisition activity dropped 25% worldwide in the first half of 2012 in response to economic uncertainty, Reuters reported.
According to data compiled by Thomson Reuters, more than $1 trillion worth of deals were announced through Q2, down from $1.33 trillion announced during the first half of 2011. 
A slowdown in M&A activity is bad news for the world's banking industry, which relies on such deals to furnish business-expansion financing. Banks are already dealing with a financial crisis in Europe, trepidation about the future of Asian markets, and a U.S. economy that has stalled out. 
Despite the headwinds, there are still many active buyers and sellers and deals to be done, and the added incentive of getting them done in 2012 before taxes go up.
