Alianza Partners Launches The Ownership Transition Report
Alianza Partners has launched The Ownership Transition Report, a new weekly LinkedIn newsletter focused on business acquisitions, exits, succession planning, valuation, transaction preparation, and ownership transitions.
The inaugural issue, “Stronger Loan Demand Is Changing the Market for Business Acquisitions,” examines new Federal Reserve data showing that mergers and acquisitions are contributing to stronger demand for commercial and industrial financing.
The analysis explains why buyers need to establish financing readiness before competing for a business and why sellers should evaluate a buyer’s capital structure and closing credibility—not merely the headline purchase price.
According to Don McClain, Founder of Alianza Partners:
“Finding a business begins the opportunity. Structuring the transaction determines whether it can close and succeed.”
The inaugural report addresses:
Buyer equity and liquidity
Senior acquisition financing
Seller financing
Working-capital requirements
Post-closing liquidity
Financing contingencies
Transaction timing
Seller-transition planning
Valuation support
Closing certainty
The report also explains why the purchase price represents only one part of the total capital requirement. Buyers may also need capital for professional fees, inventory, equipment, payroll, technology, marketing, and post-closing contingency reserves.
