Acquiring a company is the easy part. Integrating a company into your existing organization is an enormous challenge, even for the most seasoned managers. The devil is in the details, as integration includes accounting, human resources, purchasing, banking, project management, pricing, proposal writing, compensation, and more. The key is to create a documented integration plan and communicate clearly and constantly with all parties involved, both before and after the deal closes to avoid any misunderstandings and confusion. It is also important to communicate with the employees in the new company to ensure they understand what's happening.
Employees fear the worse when their company is being sold, so communication is critical.
Be honest and open. They will appreciate the communication, and you will significantly reduce voluntary turnover. Expanded geographic reach. Their company now has a national presence. Increased support for seeking new business.
