Strategic view on acquisitions

We always have the long term in mind. Too often acquisitions are done on an opportunistic basis. We advocate a strategic and systematic approach. We believe in acquisitions that are win-win rather then just financially driven value transfers. This is where the challenges come in.

Challenges in Chinese overseas acquisitions

• How to manage acquisition in overseas markets under unknown circumstances;
• How to retain management and to benefit from the company's technology, access to markets and/or resources;
• How to leverage brands and client relations;
• How to share knowledge;
• How to identify the major risks.

Solutions for Chinese companies to manage investment challenges

To start thinking about these issues post-completion would be too late; such matters have to be identified and addressed in an early stage.

We connect teams, start these discussions and explore the potential coming from a merger. We may provide turnkey acquisition support or alternatively provide more targeted services in a coordinated and joint approach with the acquisition team of our principal.

Solveigh has extensive experience in managing acquisitions in a variety of markets and countries and is in most cases able to add value to its clients.
