Best Way Consulting – Unternehmungsberatung Michael Peter Schmitz

WHAT I STAND FOR

Consulting services for small and medium-sized companies are my profession. A high degree of identification with the people and the company is important to me. Appreciation of the people and respect for the culture of a company are for me the basis for the development of sustainable solutions. My approach is pragmatic and characterized by internationally successful entrepreneurial activity. No prefabricated concepts or elaborate as-is analyses and no time-consuming presentations. Goal orientation, strength of action and enthusiasm are my most important success factors. I do not leave you alone with the proposed solutions: I am happy to support you in the implementation and integration of our concepts.

THE RIGHT STRATEGY

FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE

For more than 30 years I have worked as a responsible manager in software IT companies.
I have carried out company transfers as a seller and a buyer. In Germany, Europe and the USA.
I founded best way consulting in 2012 and since then I have successfully passed on my experience in numerous mandates.

THE RIGHT STRATEGY

Spontaneity impresses many people. In a corporate transaction, I can only advise against it. A corporate transaction is a strategic issue. Take the time to develop your strategy – and use my many years of experience to fine-tune your plan.

GROWTH THROUGH ACQUISITION

Sales are a crucial factor in the growth of a company. Acquisition is more than just increasing the number of customers. “Fresh blood” comes into your company. New people, new thoughts, new products. With the right strategy, you create sustainable value.

INTERNATIONAL ACQUISITIONS

If you see opportunities for your company in other countries, an acquisition in the targeted country is a tempting option. If you are faced with this decision, I offer you my personal experience from responsible work in many European countries and the USA.

TOOLS FOR ACQUISITIONS

You can do everything yourself. But does it make sense? Successful screening of target companies, initial contact and contact building, I have perfected all this over the years.

INTEGRATION

The integration of an acquired company is not a matter of course. It should already be clear in the strategy which acting persons have to be involved. The probability that it will be the first assignment of this kind for the “chosen ones” is high. From many (international) assignments I can help as a coach with proven standards and a lot of experience.

COMPANY SALE

A major decision. You are planning to sell your life’s work. Suddenly your strength, the emotional attachment to the company, becomes your weakness. As a loyal and reliable partner on your side, you increase the chance of a transaction process according to your ideas.
