Stage 2 is a business’s transition from a successful company making great profits within a tightly defined niche to a business that can achieve substantial expansion. Closing this gap requires organizational strength along with organic and inorganic (acquisition, roll-ups etc.) growth that benefit from the company’s “secret sauce.” This session will be a panel format addressing three key questions:

1. What creates Enterprise Value?
2. What is the buyer looking for in an acquisition?
3. What questions are buyers asking?

Participants will have the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions with the panelists.
