Tax planning / mergers and acquisitions – your BWLC tax consulting firm located in Cologne and Bonn, or at Niederkassel or Siegburg
German industry, characterized in its entirety by a strong SME sector, presents overall a very heterogeneous structure. Nevertheless, in whatever degree of variety the corporate landscape may present itself, the needs of the various companies are equally individualized when it comes to requirements to be met by consultation for tax planning purposes. This plays an important role for SMEs when drafting corporate succession arrangements and for larger companies when it comes to corporate acquisitions or sell-offs. All of these are complex requirement profiles for the tax consultancy shaping the portfolio in question and as regards the instruments used for the professional execution of corporate acquisitions and sell-offs (mergers and acquisitions).
