\r\n Do you want to acquire a German partner or competitor in order to gain access to the German market? Or do you want to expand your Germany business in this way? Then you need advice about mergers and acquisitions. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
\r\n

An acquisition is always a complex process and fraught with uncertainty. With cross-border mergers and acquisitions, this complexity is further exacerbated by differing laws and regulations, language barriers, and a different business culture. Heisterborg International is the international partner for many Dutch entrepreneurs in Germany, from small to very large. Our specialists therefore have extensive experience with cross-border mergers and acquisitions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n

\r\n We’ll help you get started <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
\r\n

First, we’ll work with you, your Dutch advisors, and our\u00a0lawyers<\/a>\u00a0to determine which type of acquisition is best for your company. Are you considering a share-of-asset deal, a merger with an existing company, or a partial spin-off with a jointly formed new company? What are the legal and tax implications of these choices, for example, regarding depreciation, asset revaluation, and the tax treatment of goodwill? We’re also happy to help you optimize the transaction structure for tax purposes and explore the legal and tax implications of various financing options.<\/p>\n

During due diligence, we identify your tax risks and obligations. We then advise you during the purchase agreement negotiations on tax clauses, tax guarantees and indemnities, and VAT regulations.<\/p>\n

After the acquisition, we can advise you on tax planning and optimization, and on adjusting your tax position. We can also help you harmonize tax procedures and reporting within your new corporate structure.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n
