Algorithm of M&A. How the deals are done and why

The book presents a comprehensive and structured guide to mergers and acquisitions (M&A), approaching the subject through a systematic, algorithm-based framework. It explains how M&A can serve as a powerful tool for entrepreneurs to build business empires and achieve exponential growth.

The publication provides a step-by-step roadmap of the M&A process, covering all key aspects—from deal sourcing and origination to execution and completion. A central concept introduced in the book is the concept of Transaction Market Fit (TMF) — a framework suggesting that the most successful transactions are those in which both parties achieve their strategic and financial objectives, resulting in genuinely win-win outcomes.

The book also offers practical insights into identifying undervalued opportunities, acquiring businesses with limited or no initial capital, and maximising valuation prior to exit. In addition, it addresses critical post-transaction matters, including post-deal and shareholder disputes, post-closing integration, and the realization of operational and financial synergies.

This guide is particularly well suited for students of business administration, earlyand-mid career professionals, and entrepreneurs seeking a practical yet sophisticated understanding of M&A as a strategic growth instrumentю
