17 Reasons Your Company Is Not Investment Grade & What To Do About It
Investment grade isn’t just a term that rating agencies assign to corporate or municipal bonds. It is a description of companies that:
Generate healthy cash flow.
Attract top talent, loyal customers and willing lenders.
Are run by owners who know that they drive enterprise value every day.
Author Zane Tarence guides readers through a systematic examination of the critical business factors that help owners determine whether their companies have what it takes to attract an investor, transfer to a family member or employees, or sell to a third party.
Using examples from his 20+ years in investment banking, Zane illustrates what can happen when owners focus on—or ignore—the 17 Reasons.
At the end of every chapter, Tarence provides a list of specific recommendations that owners and their management teams can implement immediately.
