Mergers and Acquisitions can be a good chance. But there are risks connected to it as well. On the one side there are legal aspects to be covered. In the initiation -in the execution. On the other side, most Merger and Acquisitions do not fail because of legal aspects, but from the integration of two different companies after the ink has dried. In those cases, the cultural fit was not checked upfront, or the required Change Management was not initiated.

To make sure that you will receive the right price on the sell-side and to be on the safe side in case of buying, some preparation is needed. A potential buyer expects a 100% transparent company. This includes to see the earnings, the customer structure, costs and especially how the company earns money from their business. Those figures must be correct and consistent to prevent misunderstandings and different expectations, leading to a lawsuit in the worst case. But it is also important to figure out the potential of the company's business to achieve a price which compensates for this. This is all needed, so that the buy-side can really understand the seller's company.
That should be clear, of course, but it is interesting how often this does not really happen.
Finding the right buyer is not that easy. You need to be sure about your positions -about those things which might be negotiable and those which are not.
Would you like to stop working or are you in need of selling in a brief time? Or is it possible to support the buyer for the next few years? Do you need the full price directly or is it interesting for you to get only a part of the price now but a higher one in total if you continue to support the company in the next years? What impact will this situation have on your people, on you and how to ensure that you'll get what you except?
We would appreciate supporting you with these questions.
You face a very tough situation. You plan to invest a lot and need to ensure that the 'return on investment' is achieved quickly. Almost 2/3 of all M&A fail, leading to frustration on both sides. The most important things, besides fitting figures, are to really understand the new company and make sure that the diverse cultures of both companies will work together in the future. This of course costs a little bit more time and money but saves millions in M&A investment costs for a company you may own, but which does not work with you and then develops negatively.
We would appreciate supporting you with these points.
