Acquiring, selling or merging a business

Selling your business

Selling your company is a major milestone, both professionally and personally. Vandelanotte’s M&A team guides you through every step of the process with a clear strategy and expert support. From business valuation and the preparation of a compelling sales memorandum to negotiations, due diligence and the final sale-purchase agreement, our specialists ensure a structured and transparent sales process. With tailored advice and a multidisciplinary approach - financial, legal and tax - we help you achieve the best possible outcome for the sale of your business.

Acquiring a business

A business acquisition is more than a commercial transaction, it’s a strategic decision that requires thorough preparation and the right expertise. From identifying and approaching potential targets to conducting detailed financial, legal and tax analyses, leading negotiations and finalising the deal, our integrated approach gives you insight into both risks and opportunities. We ensure a smooth, well-managed process that always protects your interests.

Merging companies

Mergers often bring complex challenges, such as conflicting interests, differing corporate cultures and contrasting expectations around leadership and strategy. Our M&A team helps you identify the added value and synergies of the merger and supports you in developing and implementing a thoughtful integration plan. From financial and legal analysis to operational support, we work with you toward a future-oriented approach that fosters sustainable synergies and builds a strong foundation for joint growth.

Legal and tax considerations

Every acquisition, transfer or merger requires deep legal and tax expertise. We advise you on :

  • Contracts

  • Liabilities

  • Shareholder structures

  • Tax optimisation

  • Transfer taxes

  • Transaction structuring

  • Other relevant obligations

With our guidance, you avoid unpleasant surprises and establish a solid legal and fiscal foundation for the future.
