We recently interviewed Leahh Calvert of 918 Design Co, who has been through a whirlwind of merging and unmerging her shop.
Her goal was simple, merge with another shop to grow together and focus on what she does best. Unfortunately, the outcome didn’t go as smoothly as originally planned.
Leahh was kind enough to share the journey through the ups and downs. It’s a great listen.
After thinking about this more, we thought more about helping future shop mergers and acquisitions go smoothly. We created a Due Diligence Checklist to help owners navigate this complex process.
It’s by no means an end-all, be-all, but it will help point you in the right direction to making a sound financial decision.
