Middle Market M & A

“Understanding how private businesses access capital for growth and successful owner transition is one of the most critical and least understood parts of the small and medium-sized business economy. This second edition of Middle Market M&A is a must read for anyone who needs to master the ever-evolving dynamics of the private capital marketplace. There is no better reference book for equity investors, private company owners and the advisors that unite them.” 

—BRETT PALMER, President Small Business Investor Alliance (SBIA)

“Often overlooked or discussed only as an afterthought, Marks and his co-authors have focused on an increasingly important part of the vibrant M&A market -- the so-called 'middle market' where indeed the most deals take place.  This market is huge as are the implications for buyers of mid-sized companies, their founders and sellers, the myriad advisors, investors and business school students. This book should be on the bookshelf of every one of those groups. This handbook provides not just an overview of the necessary elements for success in mid-market dealmaking, but is a rigorous and, importantly, up-to-date compendium of the broad range of issues that anyone dealing in this market will encounter.”
