This is a first for us – next week we’ll be hosting a webinar, in cooperation with Agile Equity, a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm located in New York city and Reston, Virginia.
The webinar’s title, “Web Hosting M&A Trends & Outlook,” ought to go a long way toward explaining the intent of the session. It’s designed to help inform web hosting providers who might find themselves on the radar of one of the companies looking at the hosting business for acquisitions, so that they might better prepare themselves in advance to maximize their valuations.
The webinar will take place next Thursday, July 24, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and is free to attend.
Agile Equity will be delivering the session, and I’ll be on hand to moderate questions from attendees after the presentation.
I think the best way to describe the content of the session would be via Dave Cummings, of Agile Equity, who was kind enough to put together a description for me.
He says the intent of the webinar is to give people who own web hosting and web services businesses a window into current corporate finance activity in their sector and industry:
“Specifically, who’s buying and who’s selling; what turbulence is going through the marketplace; what new public companies may become a competitive threat. And to also help them better understand the current value of their business based on previous comparable acquisitions.”
Basically, if you own a web hosting company and you’ve considered, or are considering, selling it; or if you’re not actively considering selling, but you’d like to know more about the possibility; or if you’re not interested in selling at all, but you’d like to know what your company’s worth by current measures; or if you’d just like to know more about the M&A landscape, and the effect this activity is likely to have on the hosting business in the near future, I think it would be an outstanding idea for you to set aside an hour this Thursday and come to the webinar.
You can reserve yourself a spot by signing up here.
See you there.
