Key considerations for cross-border mergers and acquisitions when expanding your business into the UK

If you’re thinking about expanding into the UK, M&A is often a faster and less risky path than starting from scratch. But there are some important considerations you want to think about before you start.

In my video I explain how the UK is one of the most active and open M&A markets in Europe. English law, and a mature advisory ecosystem, mean the process is well understood and predictable. Whilst M&A can be one of the fastest and most effective ways to enter or expand in the UK, but it rewards preparation. Think carefully about structure, do proper due diligence, negotiate a deal that properly allocates risk, and plan for integration from day one.
