Our Approach
Recognize European Diversity (!)
Despite the European Union, Europe is not a homogenous economic block. There is a great range of differences between countries in many aspects, including: Tax laws, employment laws, commercial laws, languages and language skills, market size, market preferences and market maturity, business culture and bureaucracy.
Consider these key questions: When you buy or establish a company in just one European country, will you remain in this one country or perhaps expand into others? What is the long term vision of your future business in Europe? Should corporate/legal holding and European management be in the same country? How does the legal business structure impact management , overall taxation and risk? Are there advantages to be gained from one approach vs. another?
Our goal is to help you develop a European strategy that starts with the vision, avoids a country by country approach and makes your plan the most advantageous for your business model.
Support Different Strategic Options
Whether your strategic plan is based on acquisition or organic growth, or is not at all predetermined, we can provide you with the best options to achieve your goal. We will help you to consider if acquisition is the right strategy, and if you therefore need M&A services. Or is rather organic growth in the focus? Are management skills your bottle neck? Or rather technology, brand or distribution?
Our network is designed to help you with all the support you might need: Strategy definition, competency gap analysis, legal, tax, accounting and trustee services, technology, market research, brand definition, logistics, financing, M&A and due diligence services.
Our network therefore supports the evaluation of the best alternative strategy.
