After you get done reading the flurry of activity occurring at ASA as we head into the late summer/early fall part of the calendar, I want to direct your attention to two other ASA-related expertly written pieces in this issue that all companies in this supply chain should read.
In his monthly column, current ASA President Chris Fasano (TORRCO) writes about what attributes private equity firms are looking for when acquiring companies. No, Fasano isn’t encouraging the sale of companies to private equity! He’s spotlighting those key traits of well-run/well-oiled-machine companies as kind of a checklist/comparison tool. I highly encourage you to read his effort.
