Yep. Nearly 9 out of 10.
And guess what?
It’s not always the market or their offer that kills them.
It’s shoddy governance.
Messy decision rights.
Shareholder fights.
Deadlocks that drag deals into the ditch.
Harvard Business Review calls it out.
Strong governance:
→ slashes deal risk by 40%
→ boosts valuation multiples and
→ speeds up the whole damn process.¹
Here’s the harsh truth: if your governance isn’t tight, you’re burning cash, time + sanity.
Want to avoid that meltdown?
Here’s your game plan, right now:
↳ Who calls the shots?
If you don’t know who approves what, you’re asking for chaos.
↳ Lock down shareholder agreements
Like your exit depends on it, because it does.
Voting rights, exit triggers, drag-along clauses.
No compromises.
↳ Deadlock? Have a plan before it’s too late.
Don’t let a tie vote tank your deal.
Mediation. Buy-sell clauses.
Anything but silence and stalemate.
Ignore this at your peril:
More disputes.
Lower valuations.
Stress that ruins your life.
Or fix your governance today and take back control of your exit.
