FAQ

How is a Buy-and-Build Strategy Structured?
  1. Analyze systematically:
    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 absorb further acquisitions.
  2. Think strategically:
    Before the merger (pre-merger), clear objectives are defined and a suitable acquisition strategy is developed to achieve these goals. This includes an in-depth analysis of the industry and potential target companies (screening).
  3. Plan realistically:
    During the merger (merger phase), potential companies are approached, due diligence is conducted, the company valuation is carried out, and contract negotiations take place. Finally, the deal is signed and closed.
  4. Implement pragmatically:
    After the merger (post-merger), a post-merger audit is conducted to evaluate success. Integration is planned and implemented, and the project results are monitored to ensure that the defined objectives are achieved.
