M&A and PMI: Consulting for successful mergers and integration
Horn & Company accompanies you throughout the entire M&A process.
M&A and PMI key components of the corporate strategy
A targeted M&A strategy is an essential component of a solid corporate strategy – it lays the foundation for a sustainable, value-creating M&A process. Clearly and independently formulated goals and expectations allow a comprehensive overall assessment of a potential transaction. The operational transaction requires clear principles and agreed milestones. Stringent planning of the PMI is the basis for the rest of the process, as this is how integration and synergies are successfully managed. Horn & Company supports you throughout the entire M&A process. The strategic analysis involves comparing the going concern with a possible M&A scenario. At the same time, this requires a target definition of continuity vs. transformation. The actual M&A transaction begins with the initiation and due diligence. This is followed by scenario-based valuations and contractual negotiations. The question of optimal financing and the operational process of the transaction also arises. In post-merger integration, the aim is to manage business, functional and cultural integration. This is done via an integration plan using established KPIs and performance measurements. In this way, the success of the M&A transaction is ensured in the best possible way. Targeted M&A strategies are a success factor
