How to Get Your Business Acquired by Big Business

With CEO and Founder of FE International, Thomas Smale

We highly recommend putting aside one hour out of revision prep to hear from inspirational Bath alumni and Founder & CEO of award winning global merger & acquisition company FE International, Thomas Smale. Thomas will be sharing his knowledge and advice on building a business that one day might be so successful someone might just want to buy it!

It may seem too early to think about such things but as entrepreneurs we naturally think about the next idea so it’s imperative that during your growth phase your business is putting in the right foundations for a merger or acquisition in the future.

Thomas will be joining us from his offices in San Francisco at 4:30pm on Monday 11th November 2023
