A must-read for all middle market company leaders
Completing the Deal
Completing the Deal by Matt Andersen, the book. Get An Inside Look at Mergers, Acquisitions and Raising Capital
ABOUT THE BOOK
Most companies grow reactively.
This book changes that.
A sale, recapitalization, or capital raise is a once-in-a-career event for most business owners. The stakes are enormous and the process is unfamiliar. Buyers and investors navigate these deals every day. Most founders do it once.
Completing the Deal levels that playing field. Written by Matt Andersen, who has personally advised on more than $6.7 billion in closed transactions over 25+ years, the book translates institutional deal knowledge into plain language for the business owners who need it most. Whether you’re actively considering a transaction or building toward one years from now, this book gives you the foundation to engage the process as an informed participant.

“The business owners who get the best outcomes are not always the ones with the best businesses. They are the ones who are most prepared for the process.”
