Opportunities for growth through strategic acquisitions? Possible company sales in the future?
Description: The musical instrument industry is at a turning point. In addition to organic growth, targeted acquisitions can be an important tool for generating additional revenue and earnings growth. At the same time, companies with a long-term perspective should also be prepared for a possible sale. Parthon Advisors is an advisory firm specialising in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for medium-sized companies. (www.parthonadvisors.com)
Alexander Funke and Jochen Köhler, both partners at Parthon Advisors, will provide an exciting insight into how companies can best prepare for a potential sale and what questions need to be answered for planned acquisitions. They will show how an M&A process works and how the value of a company is determined.
This impulse is aimed at manufacturers, distributors and retailers, who continue to play a central role in strategic decisions. Mergers and acquisitions are also very relevant for small and medium-sized companies. Market participants can find out about this topic without any prior knowledge.
