Acquisition in German speaking countries |
The acquisition of a company or participation is an efficient way to build or expand a market position. It is also well suited to gain access to resources that are not readily available otherwise. In any case, it can increase shareholder value.
On the other hand, an acquisition is often, if not always, a unique undertaking which calls for the most professional implementation possible. It should also be recognized that an active and systematic approach supported by expert advice offers better opportunities and results than waiting for a "lucky buy".
Acquiring in German speaking countries can be a particularly complex and difficult task. This is mainly due to the special structure of the respective industries in these countries with a perception of Mergers and Acquisitions which differs from that in other countries.
