Effective ways to speed expansion
Bringing your company up to size may be largely a matter of internal expansion,
through Financial and Market Engineering. The growth of your business can be
accelerated, however, in several other ways:
Acquisitions
You can do what the major corporations are constantly doing: acquire smaller
companies. Such companies generally have limited market value and are relatively
inexpensive. We can take a close look at target companies with you, to evaluate
their financial condition, growth prospects and asking price.
Mergers
Merging with another company entails a complex blending of corporate cultures,
products and staff. We can be helpful in evaluating the other company's financial
condition and all other long- or short-term benefits/drawbacks of the proposed
marriage.
Initial Public Offering (IPO)
Introducing your company to the market can be the ultimate value builder -
but not the easiest. Crucially important decisions must be taken, requiring
special expertise. Which stock exchange, in which country, would be most suitable?
Would it be advisable, for tax or other reasons, to create a holding in a second
country? Should you seek a listing in still a third country? There are many
decisions to be taken, many possible pitfalls, yet we at Sphinx have an impressive
record of success in bringing companies such as yours to market.
A word of caution, however: An IPO invariably costs a great deal of money,
far more than most smaller companies can afford. It is why we suggest that a
company first achieve critical mass before even considering such a move. Here
too we can help, every step of the way.
