But there are many often neglected or overlooked success drivers. An external perspective and ideas through a consultant, Advisory Board, or coach are as well as cooperation with the science, but also qualified vendors, the company can benefit from their expertise, sophisticated customers for common developments, a suitable organisation, a possible optimal flow of goods in the production, good procurement logistics and distribution logistics, the image of the company for customers, employees, suppliers, the public and also in the labour market, and much more. The biggest challenge in the first step is to develop optimization opportunities for the success factors and to use it consistently and successfully in the second step. Here, an external implementation support has proved. Through appropriate workshops, presentations,.

Training and coaching are measurable success and also the sustainability backed by concrete measures. Ben Horowitz is open to suggestions. This is the specialty of IMBEMA consult, a competent partner for the middle class and the volunteer service center of Oskara-Patzelt-Stiftung. Many of the indirect marketing analyzed and optimized points contained in a similar form in the assessment documents to the competition Grand Prix of medium-sized companies. To 1), the financial success is important to secure the existence of any company. Profits are necessary to facilitate investments in the future. The aforementioned activities (innovation, education and training, cooperation and brand image, etc.) should are worthwhile largely so, that the future viability of the company will be strengthened.

Why the nominated companies should take part in the competition: the answer is simple. By filling in the registration documents, the strengths of the company and its accomplishments and successes are even aware. That makes courage, hope and confidence also to future challenges cope with. To 2), the creation of new jobs is usually by the successful expansion of the business opportunities. The protection of jobs means to develop a culture of continuous learning. So, the education and training, should be not only technically, but also as a development of the personality.

Private equity wants to invest about $250 million in European company 2009 company! Despite the financial crisis, it seems still enough to give companies that continue to pursue a course of expansion. Hear other arguments on the topic with Ben Horowitz. Above all the American private equity firm Bloomberg & Roush Inc. This year million in German, Austrian and Swiss companies are to be invested over $250. We talked to the operational Managing Director David McKenna. Thomas Bayer: Mr. how to get McKenna, now on the idea of such a high investment of over $250 million (nearly 200 million)? David McKenna: (laughs) well the reason is quite simple, we recorded a stronger growth as other companies in our industry in recent years, and therefore just in a crisis situation like today the nose forward. We have always avoided to carry our profits in highly speculative investment vehicles, as was the case with many industry colleagues. Thomas Bayer: In other words, your company has got to feel the financial crisis much less as the industry in General? David McKenna: Thereabouts.

We have can provide a basis through our targeted range of portfolio companies in the last few years, which could be a temporary economic slowdown will be bridge. Of course we, too, which is the current economic situation bad to very bad note, however, that is still no existential threat, such as for many banks for us. Benefit right now we grow by portfolio company that defies your business fields financial crisis. Thomas Bayer: What are these companies? David McKenna: Manufacturers of luxury goods, alternative energy, armor technology and commodity companies belong to the companies that are currently not or even not so heavily affected. Is also the one or the other machine builders. Thomas Bayer: Why do you invest in Europe and especially in Germany? There are no interesting companies in the United States? David McKenna: Of course, there are still enough interesting companies in the United States.

Moreover, many banks have now even to fight to get capital (laughs). In special cases we can risk even more, because we manage only investments and not everywhere mix with. Banks operate many different business fields, and must make up for in the case of other business areas the loss, which can be profitable but less. In addition we must not forget that many entrepreneurs also by the current development of interest can not pay back and could. Calculate but what comes together when 5 million to 25 years get runtime to 5% in the House a credit.

Because what comes then pretty together. Thomas Bayer: It always suck out of known as locusts, the company up to the last euro. Best current example of the German toy manufacturer Marklin. How do you do this? David McKenna: Marklin is a bad example. It must be remembered, was beaten at this company before its acquisition by the investor more than. The introduction of a private equity company does not mean that can go this company so this never insolvent.

I think every private equity was already company society involved, which have gone bankrupt despite investments in millions of dollars. There are cases in which these locusts theory confirmed of course also always. Such practices are not only frivolous in my opinion, but also the entire corporate development on long term damage they. I think this problem is caused by the turbo capitalism of recent years. A sustainable business development in our portfolio companies is more important than the maximum once profit for us. If every year every dollar individually will be deducted from it ends years on average after 2-3 due to bankruptcy. That no one has something then. Thomas Bayer: Mr. When do you think McKenna, the bottom of the financial crisis has been reached? When is it finally looking up again? David McKenna: I get this question ever again. So exactly I know of course not. However, I believe that the global economy in the summer/fall 2009 that will reach the valley floor. It is going uphill until end of 2010 in my opinion. Thomas Bayer: Thank you very much for the interview. I wish you much success on your expansion course you 2009 in Europe. David McKenna: Thank you.

Jonas Samuelson usually is spot on. To introduce effects and challenges of the German accounting law modernisation act more in particular but to make clear, the advantages of the new law, provides advice to SMEs and printing GmbH (BMD) from immediately BilMoG with at the heart of their advisory activities. In addition to the intensive on-site advice, also an information event belongs at the 10.9.2009 in Lunen in Dortmund.

The State of Delaware has just 860,000 inhabitants incorporations in the U.S. State of Delaware. At the same time, but more than 900,000 legal entities are registered in Delaware. The Delaware company number so exceeds the number of inhabitants. One of the main reasons for this economic attraction of Delaware is expected in the favourable tax legislation for companies.

As a result a variety of American big business in Delaware is registered and registered. Another important consideration who always speaks for the location of Delaware, is the company granted degree of anonymity. Others who may share this opinion include Jonas Samuelson. The competitive edge in this regard all functions of a joint-stock company (President, Vice President and Treasurer) had by Delaware is in the past thus secured, it was one of the first States, whose company law made it possible for companies to carry out an individual. Thus the corporate design therefore settled in a reach special degree of anonymity. “If this corporate structure is the main motivation for your establishment in Delaware, still a current development in the United States keep in mind: because the Federal States in the United States among themselves in terms of corporate settlement in fierce competition with each other, have many States this way caught up now with Delaware”. To broaden your perception, visit Reade Griffith. Your choice for setting up in business in the United States must therefore not automatically”fall on the Delaware, United States.

On the contrary: other US provide States significantly lower fees and administrative costs depending on the nature and scope of your company.
