The economy’s strength combined with the search for returns is driving the latest move in the M&A market, offering outsized results for companies with sufficient preparation.
—
Global law firm, Biztech Lawyers, is predicting an uptick in M&A activity this year as interest in the artificial intelligence and biotechnology industries explode. The firm is now urging industry leaders to take immediate action to increase the value of their enterprises for investors and acquiring companies.
“Businesses that take action now are more likely to secure the investment financing they want and need,” Biztech Lawyers says. “Brands should consider how they can sell themselves and put their best foot forward in this competitive market.”
To drive this point home, Biztech Lawyers identified several key areas requiring focus, presented in its thought-leadership content. It believes firms must hit various criteria to drive successful sales processes.
For example, the law outfit stresses protecting intellectual property. Companies need to start thinking about how they will stop other firms from implementing their IP.
“Things like comprehensive documentation and understanding of who owns the IP is essential,” the law firm says. “You have a lot of organizations in 2024’s market who believe they have sufficient protection, but actually don’t.”
Biztech Lawyers also emphasizes the value of formalizing contracts with vendors, employees, and contractors in its research. It believes who owns what should be clear to everyone involved.
“Startups can take a laissez-faire approach when first setting up, believing they need to move fast and break things,” the company explains. “But that’s not always the best approach. Even if founders trust the people around them, it still pays to be safe and put contracts in place.”
Data protection and cybersecurity are also top of Biztech Lawyers’ priorities for 2024 M&A candidate organizations. Firms must convince investors and acquirers they are compliant and have systems in place to ensure the long-term viability of the company.
Finally, Biztech Lawyers believe in the need for merger candidates to maintain proper financial records. Companies must demonstrate they offer sound financial management and responsible accounting to attract process-driven organizational buyers (and go beyond conventional venture capital).
“We believe businesses that address these problems can position themselves for fantastic success going forward,” Biztech Lawyers says. “Firms that get it right can deliver impressive M&A upswings for equity-holding parties.”
