🏭 Buying companies – YES. But please MINIMISE the risk!

Taking over a company can be your fastest route to market leadership –
or the most expensive mistake of your life.

As a buyer, you should know:
It's not just WHICH company you buy that matters –
but HOW you buy it.

Because every deal structure brings different risks, tax effects and legal consequences.
Here are the three most common models – and what you need to watch out for:

⸻

🔹 1. Asset Deal – Buying individual assets
✅ Advantageous for the buyer
✅ You only take on what you want (e.g. machinery, brand, customers)
✅ Lower liability risk
⚠️ Effort involved in transferring contracts, permits & employees

🔹 2. Share Deal – Buying the entire company (including legacy liabilities)
✅ Easy to carry out
✅ All contracts & structures remain in place
⚠️ You also take on all known & unknown liabilities
⚠️ Careful due diligence is a must here

🔹 3. Merger – e.g. a triangular merger with your own subsidiary
✅ Useful for group strategies
⚠️ Very complex and rarely seen in practice among small companies

⸻

💡 As a buyer, you should above all pay attention to:
– Which risks lie with the target company?
– How does the deal fit your structure in tax & strategic terms?
– Are there synergies you can realistically capture?
