Value Growth Program Provides Middle Market Advisors with a focus on M&A Industry Future

June 29, 2015 - PRLog -- The MidMarket Alliance [www.midmarketplace.org] develops the M&A ecosystem of the future. By some estimates, as many as 90% of owners who hope to sell their companies are turned away for not being “market ready”, with little or no guidance of how such companies can become market ready.  The lost opportunities for M&A advisors are compelling, and the future of the middle market business economy is at stake.

The MidMarket Alliance is developing the ecosystem that can transform such companies to be highly attractive in the marketplace, and bring efficiency to the middle market M&A space.  A four session inaugural track will be conducted at the upcoming international summer conference of the Alliance of M&A Advisors, providing guidance on how intermediaries and advisory firms can collaboratively position private companies for maximum value and transaction readiness.  The sessions will be conducted by a variety of thought leaders who are leading the M&A process into the future with new perspectives and approaches.  The sessions and presenters are as follows:
