Hi,

How are you?

Often time, I come across SME owners who are curious on why there are people in the market looking to acquire businesses. In this short YouTube video, I will share the 6 common reasons why people are buying businesses in Singapore and Malaysia.

Over the past 12 months, I have encountered different profiles of buyers with varying level of experience in M&A. As such, I have decided to roll out a Buyer Process & Expectation Framework Agreement for buyers working with Fey Day. The objective is to promote professional behaviour and align expectation for buyers and sellers.

If you are a buyer inquiring on businesses represented by Fey Day, you maybe asked to sign it. While this might not seem to be a common practice, M&A scene for Micro and Lower - Mid market in Singapore is still considered to be in the nascent stage. It's important for M&A firms like Fey Day to set up our respective practice/ guideline to protect the interest of our stakeholders.

Secondly it has recently came to my attention that there are a few individuals who would turn up for various M&A event(s) uninvited. When asked by the organisers, they would claim that Mac invited them to it.

I would not invite someone to other people event, unless I inform the organizer about it or if it is a public event. If there is such occurrence in the future, organisers should clarify with me directly. Thank you.

I often come across business owners asking about PE and VCs firms. The below infographic will shed some light on it. Hope you find it useful.
