The appointment is part of Benchmark International’s ongoing strategy to accelerate its global growth and service innovation.Erwartungen für Fusionen und Übernahmen im mittleren Marktsegment im Jahr 2025Jüngste Umfragen haben gezeigt, dass die M&A-Aussichten für das Jahr 2025 den größten Optimismus der letzten Jahre in Bezug auf Geschäftsabschlüsse erkennen lassen. Die 14. jährliche Umfrage der Citizens Bank unter mehr als 400 Führungskräften des Mittelstands und Private-Equity-Investoren in den Vereinigten Staaten ergab, dass ein günstiges wirtschaftliches Umfeld ein Hauptgrund dafür ist, dass Unternehmen und Investoren im Jahr 2025 nach M&A-Strategien suchen werden. Außerdem haben sich die Unsicherheiten der letzten Jahre gelegt, und die Bewertungen werden als stabil oder höher als in den vergangenen Jahren eingeschätzt. Kleinere mittelständische Unternehmen gehen indes zurückhaltender vor, und viele Verkäufer entscheiden sich für den Verkauf eines Teils ihres Unternehmens und nicht für einen Komplettverkauf. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die befragten Entscheidungsträger für das Jahr 2025 ein Wirtschaftswachstum und eine höhere Rate an M&A-Transaktionen erwarten.Eine optimistische Zukunft: Starke Nachfrage nach Kapital, ein Aufschwung bei den Transaktionen und eine Welle von Private EquityDie Wall Street rechnet für 2025 mit einer regen Transaktionsaktivität, wenn Donald Trump wieder die Präsidentschaft in den USA antritt. Der jüngste Anstieg der Kapitalnachfrage wird sich voraussichtlich fortsetzen, da viele Experten mit einem Wiederaufschwung des Transaktionsgeschehensrechnen , was zu einer Flut von Private-Equity-Investitionen führen wird.
