The disposal of a company is the most sensitive project in the field of mergers and acquisitions. This is the case especially, when selling a privately owned company. It is imperative to perform a smooth, secure and professional transfer of ownership of a company that was build over many years. This is in the interest of the company and its employees as well as the company’s owners, who often depend on the company as their main financial asset. Therefore it is necessary that the project team is well prepared in order to complete the transaction process successfully.
