Match.Asia Expands Free“Prepare For Exit” Workshops For Southeast Asian Smes

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) 12 workshops will help more than 350 business owners understand what buyers look for, prepare for a potential sale and improve their chances of a successful transaction

Singapore, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Many SME owners only start learning how mergers and acquisitions (M&A) work when they are ready to sell their business. By then, it could be too late, as many of the factors that determine buyer interest and valuation may be difficult to change.

“A business owner may sell a company once in their lifetime, while a professional buyer may look at hundreds,” said Marcus Yeung, CEO and Co-Founder of match.asia.
“That creates a significant knowledge gap. If owners understand earlier how buyers think and what drives value, they can prepare better. Ultimately, successful M&A is about bringing together the right seller and the right buyer, with aligned expectations and a genuine commitment to completing a transaction.”
The workshops provide practical M&A guidance on how buyers assess businesses, the key drivers of valuation, strategic positioning, transaction readiness and common areas of seller-buyer misalignment. They also help business owners consider M&A as part of their longer-term exit and succession planning.

A recent workshop with portfolio companies of Wavemaker Partners explored how strategic buyers evaluate businesses, what drives valuation and why preparing for an exit should begin well before an owner decides to sell.
