Hi All,
I completely agree with all of the above. One thing I would add is that if they are still into 3 figures in terms of employee numbers e.g. 250 I would think that they should be able to spare at least a few people to oversight the integration from their side and emphasise the importance of being fully invested in completing the acquisition.
Lack of provisioned resources to undertake PMI would make me question the client’s motives/ capability to be undertaking M&A activity in the first instance.
