This option is often over-looked by many agency owners who forget that a merger allows you to acquire the size you want right away with slogging through the new business wars. And that immediately opens up more accounts you can now compete for because of your new size and mass.

The problem is that most agency owners have had little M&A experience and their first attempts at trying to do it alone waste a lot of time and money. More importantly these attempts often cause great opportunities to pass on by because of fumbles, delays and inexperience.
