International buyers

Half of our transactions are to international buyers

More and more of the transactions we advise on involve buyers from abroad. International industrial groups and private equity funds make up around half of the buyers. They often have a strong interest in developing the acquired company in Denmark.

Great benefits of foreign acquisition of a company

For someone selling their business, an international buyer can be a very attractive option. Often the foreign players can pay the highest price and offer the most flexible terms. They see strategic synergies and have the capital to realize them.

Many international buyers have experience from similar acquisitions and are willing to spend resources on further developing your company - both technologically and market-wise. The vast majority choose to keep and develop the company in Denmark with the same name and employees because they value the local roots and specialist knowledge.

An international buyer can thus be a good way to grow and create value - for the seller, employees and the company.

Due diligence the phase of the sales process where the buyer gains a thorough insight into the company. This includes financial reporting. Informative reporting therefore has a positive impact on the transaction.

Different types of buyers

Different types of buyers

Financial and industrial buyers do things differently

There are basically two types of buyers for businesses:

  • Industrial players with professional insight and strategic interest. For example, they may want to complement existing services or expand in a market where they are weak.
  • Financial investors such as a private equity fund or an investment company/family office. They are often good at recognizing growth potential and will create value through development and streamlining.

An industrial buyer often knows the industry and can add professional synergies, while a private equity fund typically focuses on structure, management and scalability.

Both types can be good solutions, depending on the seller's wishes for the future. Business Broker you assess which buyer profile best matches your business and your values.

Letter of intent, due diligence, warranty catalog, and tactics are key concepts when a change of ownership enters the negotiation phase. Business Brokers have many years of experience in both advising and negotiating on behalf of business owners.
