In recent years, more and more companies are choosing M&A as a way of investment in Europe. This wave stems from the common issues in Europe: lack of labor force and time-consuming permitting processes. M&A is very an effective and efficient tool for the quick start of business - but to achieve “successful” M&A, the importance of due diligence and PMI (post merger integration) cannot be neglected. We provide all kinds of M&A services both on the sell-side and buy-side, including market research, introduction and search of acquisition targets in Europe, financial advisory, red flag reports, due diligence, and post merger integration (PMI).

Support for Asian Companies
All Moore offices in European countries mutually share the information on sell-side and buy-side companies. For Asian companies who are interested in M&A, it is often very difficult to identify potential targets and evaluate the advantages and risks, especially because of cultural differences, business customs, and language barriers. We support Asian companies throughout the above-mentioned whole process - from target identification to due diligence, transaction, and PMI. If you need any consultation on where to invest in Europe, in which form (M&A, greenfield, brownfield, sales office, etc.), when and how, please feel free to contact us. Our professional advisory team will provide you with the best solution according to your needs.
