Winning the Deal: Considerations Beyond Price
Presented By: HUB International / Goulston & Storrs
In an acquisition landscape where supply is limited and demand is high, often price becomes the difference. But what if it doesn’t, and other factors determine which buyer wins the deal? Join this insightful—and sometimes contrarian—conversation among a group of acquisition-minded c-suite executives, investors, and M&A advisors as they discuss what truly differentiates winning buy-side transactions… beyond the price.
Following a 40-minute panel discussion you will have the opportunity to meet the speakers and ask questions during a 20-minute video Q&A session.
