| Growth-oriented Midsize Companies that seek to expand globally or reposition themselves often encounter numerous obstacles, which may cause them to abort prematurely an envisaged cross-border transaction that, in fact, is strategically sensible: |
 |
|
 |
|
Unfamiliarity with a foreign legal system and business culture (including language and customs) |
|
|
|
|
Limited access to the services of reputable investment banks, which are often unavailable to Midsize Companies due to the envisaged transaction size |
|
|
|
|
Lack of contacts that can provide reliable references for foreign advisors (lawyers, accountants and consultants) who are essential for the successful execution of a cross-border transaction |
|
|
|
|
Unpredictability and unreasonableness of transaction costs |
|
|
|
|
Significant time commitment for management which may negatively impact the operative business |
|
|
|
|
Limited experience with Anglo-American transaction and negotiation standards which are prevalent in international transactions |
|
|
| Cross-Border
M&A transactions are undoubtedly complex. However, with
the support of a competent advisor, they may provide an appropriate
strategic tool for Midsize Companies. |
