In this episode, Paul and Patrick answer listeners’ questions and discuss topics that were raised in previous episodes with Tony Sfreddo, Mike Givlin and Jamie Clement.
Topics include: Understanding what drives acquirers to make acquisitions and how value is created by a business combination. Making the hard decision to say “no” to too many disparate service offerings. The advantages of decoupling service from billing. What do acquirers look for in acquisition targets and why you shouldn’t really care. Should Anticimex’s portfolio company Killingsworth really start offering food delivery and medical services? And finally, is Rollins, the parent company of Orkin, really for sale?
