The Stories Behind the Deal - Key Capital and IMAGE Business Club Event

Share

Key Capital and IMAGE Business Club hosted an event ‘The Stories Behind the Deal - if I knew then what I know now…’ an evening with a panel of pioneering Irish entrepreneurs, held as part of Key Capital’s pillar sponsorship with IMAGE business club to educate and support female entrepreneurs on their business journey.

Covering topics such as: 
·      Can you run a deal process on your own?
·      What are your dealmakers and dealbreakers?
·      How long does it take to sell a company?
 
Our sincere thanks to our panel, who shared their stories behind the deal with openness and honesty: Karen Malone (FCCA), Global CEO and Founder of Centaur Fund Services, James McGann, Co-Founder at Frankie Health, Denise Browne, Co-Founder at Label Craft, deftly moderated by Melanie Morris, Contributing Editor at IMAGE Media.

"A really great evening listening to our clients tell their stories behind the deal. It is great to be part of the journey with some great Irish businesses."
Colin Morgan, CEO at Key Capital.

Richard Tunney, from Key Capital, commented on the night that what was very clear during the panel conversation is there’s a perception that M&A is about spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations, but there is much more to what we do. You can see for the three panelists there’s an emotional element in a transaction: life decisions, personal decisions, staff, pals, they often get forgotten about but they are key to people making a decision, making the transaction happen and deciding if you’re ultimately happy with it.

"What the three businesses have done exceptionally is understand their client, understand their product and deliver on that, and they have become recognised internationally for what they do."
Richard Tunney, Managing Director, Corporate Finance at Key Capital.

The entrepreneurs reflected on their own business journeys to share the inside track and key learnings from selling their business. Read their advice here:
