When Making an Offer is the Toughest Part of the Deal |  Private equity is an easy target for politicians.

"The buyer seems like a great fit," he noted, "but he just can't produce an offer in writing."
When I spoke with the potential buyer about his concerns, he said, "It's not about the money; it's just the feeling that we're committed and there's no going back." When I told him he could build in good reasons to opt out after a signed LOI, he responded, "That's the best way I can explain it," and disappeared. |
