FAQ
How is a Buy-and-Build Strategy Structured?

1. Systematically Analyze:
Before the merger (Pre Merger), the question arises whether a buy-and-build strategy is the right growth concept and whether the company (platform) is ready to take on further acquisitions.

2. Think Strategically:
Before the merger (Pre Merger), clear objectives are set, and a suitable acquisition strategy is defined to achieve these goals. This involves an in-depth analysis of the industry and potential target companies (screening).

3. Plan Realistically:
During the merger (Merger), potential companies are approached, due diligence is conducted, business valuation is performed, and contract negotiations are held. Finally, the signing and closing of the deal take place.

4. Implement Pragmatically:
After the merger (Post Merger), a post-merger audit is conducted to assess success. Integration planning and execution follow, and project outcomes are monitored to ensure that the set goals are achieved. This project module contributes to the optimization and expansion of the product and customer portfolio, as well as to overall business growth.
