I'm planning to pursue an SME M&A — please explain the procedure.

You asked about SME M&A.

To briefly explain the M&A procedure, it proceeds in the order of strategy formulation > target company selection and analysis > legal due diligence planning and execution > M&A transaction negotiation and execution > post-merger integration (PMI) service > transaction negotiation and closing.

Through such M&A, company growth can be accelerated, and by acquiring and merging with the company, time can be saved to acquire that company's technology, which is an advantage.

However, due to the high cost burden of M&A, the company's cash flow may worsen, and various legal risks from the M&A must be borne.

Therefore, if you are preparing such an SME M&A, it is important to consult with a specialist attorney who can manage these legal risks and establish a systematic strategy before the M&A.

Since M&A is a matter that can determine the survival and growth of a company, more thorough legal review is necessary.

Therefore, for a successful M&A, it is good to secure the sustainable growth of the company together with an attorney who can provide quick and accurate strategies regarding SME M&A.
