There may be several motivations to sell a company or business area. A changing company strategy, for instance, may lead over time to some business units simply not fit into the overall enterprise. The term M&A also includes the sale of companies in the course of sustainable succession plan.<\/p>

On the buyer side, acquisitions are often the result of a \u201cbuy or build\u201d decision. Instead of rebuilding a business unit completely, it may be more advantageous to buy an existing, strategically complementary business. At the same time, growth through acquisitions is usually much faster to achieve than purely organic growth. Business growth, opening up new markets, expanding the product portfolio \u2013 all of these are possible reasons for share and company acquisitions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The M&A process usually begins with the search for suitable target companies. If a target is found, assessment of the takeover candidate (due diligence) takes place. If strategic advantages and synergies can be identified, negotiations with the shareholders and\/or management of the target then follow. A letter of intent may confirm the intention of the two parties to successfully carry out this transaction. A bilateral contract design is supported by law firms, auditors, corporate consultants and M&A and corporate finance consultants. In addition to determining purchase price, definitions are also drawn up for share acquisition type, payment method and the provision of necessary financial resources. After the purchase process, investor controlling ensures that the investor is constantly monitoring the development of the target.<\/p>

Empirical studies show that more than 50 percent of M&A transactions do not bring the value accretion and return on investment that shareholders had hoped for. Nevertheless, they remain an important part of a company\u2019s long-term value strategy. A well thought out M&A strategy can lead to decisive competitive advantages \u2013 particularly in economically turbulent times..<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
