Vietnam M&A
2011-10-25 03:25:02 UTC
It is probably the best time to take a serious look into acquisition of business in Vietnam – valuation of businesses / assets is low, and with extremely high cost of funding, many enterprises in Vietnam lack working capital for continuing operations and are eagerly seeking for foreign buyers or partners.
The opportunities for foreign investors to invest and offer financial support to resuscitate otherwise promising enterprises offer a window to capitalize on the growth potential of Vietnam when the economic situation improves.
The acquisition of business in Vietnam is however a daunting task given the emerging nature of the regulatory and tax framework surrounding mergers and acquisition activities.
This workshop aims to guide potential foreign direct investors in staging and implementing successful acquisitions. The speaker shall provide a no-nonsense and realistic assessment of the expectations and challenges in acquiring business and working with joint venture partners in Vietnam.
