Looking to buy or sell a business?
Do you want to find a successor or do you have strategic expansion plans? We are here to assist you. As an independent, pragmatic, proactive party and our help is of course tailored to your specific needs, goals and situation.
When you decide to sell your business, you will be faced with many choices and all of them are important. You are given only one opportunity to do it right. Buying a business, too, is a complicated process. The mergers and acquisitions process (M&A) consists of many steps and can take anywhere from six months to several years.
Valuable business transfer
Mergers and acquisitions can be executed in roughly three ways: by means of a share merger (acquisition of shares), a corporate merger (acquisition of assets/liabilities) or a legal merger (full legal merger of legal entities).
Together, we determine how the acquisition process will be structured and which strategy is most effective. We always aim to realise a valuable business transfer without any losers, which forms the foundation for the further growth of your company, and we continually focus on how to make your acquisition a success.
