Webinar: Net Working Capital in M&A Transactions

As a business enters a sales process or looks to acquire another business, the buyer and seller will go to great lengths to agree on a purchase price. However, once a deal has been struck, there is an additional nuance which can cause each party consternation and may require additional negotiation. That final piece is determining the working capital peg, which many privately held business owners may not be familiar with.  

We hosted an informative webinar which included an overview of working capital and its importance in an M&A transaction.

Agenda items included:

• How working capital is defined in an M&A transaction
• Ways that working capital is measured and determined
• Why working capital is important to buyers and sellers from a financial standpoint
• Illustrations of different working capital scenarios

Presenters:

• Brian Sharkey, Director-in-Charge, Transaction Advisory & Business Valuation
• Michael Lipschutz, Director, Transaction Advisory
