70 % of all company takeovers fail to meet with success

Possible reasons for the failure are:

• Takeovers and alliances often end in failure because management tends to neglect the 'human capital' factor. The importance of the reactions of staff members is often underestimated, although one in two companies will have included the following adage in their mission statement: "With us, the human being takes centre stage".
• There is no or only an insufficient budget available to finance the long and costly integration process.
• The company to be taken over has not appointed a person responsible for the integration process, a person who helps the people concerned come to terms with the new situation that seems to them fraught with insurmountable problems.

M&P consultants

• Support the customer in the search for and selection of investors or companies suitable for takeover.
• Stay with the customer throughout the sale or purchase process. If required, M&P consultants can recommend lawyers and chartered accountants, who, as we know, always have an important role to play in such transactions.
• Develop a customized integration concept while the details of the transaction are still being finalized, so that the integration process can begin as soon as the deal has been concluded
• Support the person responsible for the integration process and remain on standby to provide coaching should any problems occur.
