INSIGHTS | For a founder, exiting their #FamilyOwnedBusiness can be a scary and emotional decision - on the other hand, #PrivateCapital providers are thinking about their exit strategy even before they sign the contract to invest in a business. In the article for DealMakers SA - #MergersandAcquisition partner, Joshua Janks, discusses how the earlier a founder starts to think about a future exit, the better for the business and its potential saleability – even if the founder has no intention of exiting right now. Read it below.

South Africa's Corporate Finance Magazine
About us
DealMakers was first published as a quarterly magazine in 2000. The intention behind the publication is to provide an accurate record of transactions undertaken by all JSE-listed companies; M&A and those transactions which include financial restructuring, listings, share issues and repurchases and capital reductions. The scope of the publication has widened over the years to include local unlisted transactions and deal making in Africa. DealMakers has, over time, built up strong relationships with the advisory firms in an endeavour to provide a detailed account of the M&A landscape which has ensured that the information is both accurate and can be substantiated. The achievements of the M&A industry are celebrated at The DealMakers Annual Awards Banquet which is held in February each year and recognises the work done in the previous year. The gathering, which is attended by over 500 paying guests, is considered the highlight of the industry’s calendar.
