Greetings!
Most business owners are justifiably concerned about customers, employees, and competitors finding out that their business is for sale and that proprietary information may be used inappropriately.
I recently met with the owner of a business ("Company A") that was approached by another company in the same industry ("Company B" ) about a potential merger. After the initial conversation, Company A shared some financial information with Company B, but wasn't sure what to do next, so the owner of Company A contacted me and we discreetly met to discuss the situation. Early on in our conversation, I asked if a Confidentiality Agreement had been signed. In response, I got the classic "deer in the headlights" response.
I share this story because this is a situation that we encounter all too frequently. When approached by a potential acquirer, we believe that it is critical to have a Confidentiality Agreement executed before any information is shared. If the potential acquirer is a competitor, the Confidentiality Agreement should be carefully drafted and information should be disclosed in stages, on a "need to know" basis, as the negotiations progress.
One of the benefits of using an intermediary to assist you in negotiating a transaction is to insert an experienced negotiator as a firewall between the business and the potential acquirer(s) to help maintain the proper level of confidentiality.
First Business Brokers, Ltd., is the proud Founding Sponsor of the 15th Annual Southern Colorado Economic Forum. Please remember to mark your calendars for the Forum which will be held on October 14th, 2011, 7:00 a.m., at the Antlers Hilton Hotel in downtown Colorado Springs.

About the Forum
The Southern Colorado Economic Forum brings together local experts from the public, private, and academic sectors to report on our economy. Thought of by many as our region's economic "State of the Union," the Forum offers the community an annual snapshot of local economic activity and provides forecasts to help businesses plan for the upcoming year.
This valuable research, about where our community has been and where where it is headed, is made possible through a cooperative effort between UCCS and local business sponsors. This long-standing partnership between the academic and business communities has produced timely, accurate, and objective economic data to guide local businesses for more than a decade.
Benefits of Attending the Forum
- The Southern Colorado Economic Forum is the premier resource for local economic information. This information is provided for - and supported by - local businesses.
- The Forum is an opportunity for you to learn about the trends and dynamics occurring nationally, statewide, and in our community, and how they will impact your business.
- Experts from UCCS and the community will present objective forecasts about key economic indicators, such as population, employment, wages, prices, retail trade, and housing that your organization can use in planning future business strategies.
- The Forum is a tremendous networking opportunity; you'll have the chance to meet experts from a variety of industries, UCCS, and other businesses that have an interest in the local economy.
- Participants who attend the Forum will receive a comprehensive report filled with data, statistics, and trends. The content can help you uncover new opportunities, make better business decisions, deliver more compelling sales presentations, and position your business as an expert who is "in the know."
- Attending this year's Economic Forum and obtaining the annual report is a great way to jump start your business planning for next year.
