Traditionally, Cypriot businesses, mostly family-owned, did not
prioritise Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) for growth,
development, or value realisation. This was due to emotional
reasons and a lack of options. However, there is now a strong
interest and increased activity in M&A, driven by competitive
pressures, internationalisation, increased liquidity, and other
factors pushing companies to evaluate these opportunities.
Decisions regarding such transactions are now based on three
pillars:
- Accurate data analysis concerning the transaction.
- Knowledge in the specific field of activity.
- Strategy implementation and its impact on the operations
involved.
In this environment, where quick and informed decisions are
crucial, KPMG in Cyprus has enhanced its transaction services team
with various specialisations, including financial, tax, legal, and
real estate expertise.
