The key to sustainable success

Why is M&A so important?

Germany is characterized by its strong medium-sized companies and internationally operating groups. Around 6,000 companies with a turnover of over 50 million euros form a unique basis. M&A is indispensable for securing our national and global competitiveness. Whether growth targets, market shares or the protection of existing businesses – company takeovers and mergers are the turbo for success.

However, success stands and falls with mastering the complex M&A processes. This is where BMA comes in: we close knowledge gaps, network the best minds and develop practical know-how – both nationally and internationally.

Think globally, act locally: The BMA works closely with national associations such as the BVK to strengthen M&A expertise at all levels. Our focus is on creating synergies between industry players and promoting exchange within the German M&A community – for successful and future-oriented cooperation.

Our promise:

We see no conflicts between national and international interests. Successful M&A processes create value on both sides – they secure jobs and strengthen Germany as a business location. German companies are active worldwide – and it is just as important that foreign companies can operate successfully here. That is a real win-win culture!
