Thu, 26 Aug 2010 | MERGER
With bankers certain that margins have been squeezed as much as they can be, mergers and acquisitions are one of the few tools left to drive business growth.
Industry experts are noting that companies have had a chance to 'acquire companies at a sensible premium,' which has 'helped them to address a lack of top-line growth.'
As a result, M&A activity involving European companies has reached $719 billion, an increase of 24 per cent on last year.
Karen Olney, European strategist at UBS said that M&A was a 'good method to grind out growth in a slower-burning economy.'
Buying businesses to drive growth is also important for small to medium size businesses in the private sector, according to Stephen Ideh, a researcher at www.business-sale.com. According to Ideh, smart firms are realising that now is an opportune time to grow companies inorganically.
