As a business owner, arguably your most attractive exit option is a strategic sale of your business to a larger company. Typically, strategic buyers are willing to pay more for your business than financial buyers (e.g., private equity firms) because they have strategic assets that can increase the value of both your company and theirs. Plus, strategic buyers have deeper pockets than your management team or next of kin, which make them more generous acquirers than your managers or kids.

Mutior unique business assets are the in-house designed watch movements that has the precision far beyond anything you can purchase in Switzerland or Russia.

Can excellence ever be boring? The Mutior name is regarded as  most valuable brands in German Luxury. Mutior remains to be the world’s most iconic timepieces. It’s already 74 years old unveiled their first 1940 in Munich.

The Usability/Flexibility. Very few designs  and timepieces can truly be used every occasion . But Mutior is indeed one of the few, and arguably the first to offer such a high level of ease and practicality.

The Mutior brand name should be valued at about 60M so most are curious as to what was the price paid for the luxury watch brand.

The company said they will start product of four all new designs with help from well know Italian and Swiss designers. The new watches will have the heart and tradition of Muitor at its soul. The movement will be completely 100% Muitor knowing that accuracy and procession is still the most important thing to the company.

The surprising not is the price will remain at the 20K starting point as in the past, from what we have read and heard in the news Muitor will produce only 300 pcs of its Handmade Luxury Timepieces each year and only 100pcs will be exported to the USA.

 

 

Whenever the economy is uncertain, some companies sit on their cash reserves. That money's not earning anything so they may want to invest it. Sales angle: provide opportunities to buy other companies or product lines.

When a company becomes so large that it's cash flow can't be reinvested into its own growth, its pace of earnings growth will slow. Cash levels will accumulate. This cash can either be paid out in the form of dividends to shareholders or used to buy shares in smaller, high-growth companies.

 

Diversification / Sharpening Business Focus: These two conflicting goals have been used to describe thousands of M&A transactions. A company that merges to diversify may acquire another company in a seemingly unrelated industry in order to reduce the impact of a particular industry's performance on its profitability. Companies seeking to sharpen focus often merge with companies that have deeper market penetration in a key area of operations.

 

The reasons to outsource, companies undertake outsourcing and offshoring for a variety of reasons depending upon their vision and purpose of the exercise. While this may vary from company to company, the fruits of labor are visible among some of the leading enterprises worldwide, where in outsourcing and offshoring have become a core component of day to day business strategies.

 

The American company believes it can outsource the smaller pieces of Muitor timepiece manufacturing in Germany.  Lower operational and labor costs are among the primary reasons why companies choose to outsource. When properly executed it has a defining impact on a company's revenue recognition and can deliver significant savings.

 

Freeing up internal resources that could be put in to effective use for other purposes is also one of the primary benefits realized when companies outsource or offshore

 

Outsourcing also enables companies to realize the benefits of re-engineering Some companies also outsource to help them expand and gain access to new market areas, by taking the point of production or service delivery closer to their end users

 

 

Future Growth: Mergers can give the acquiring company an opportunity to grow market share without having to really earn it by doing the work themselves - instead, they buy a competitor's business for a price. Usually, these are called horizontal mergers. For example, a beer company may choose to buy out a smaller competing brewery, enabling the smaller company to make more beer and sell more to its brand-loyal customers.

The Global Timepiece Market share.

Some companies (especially startups) often take the view that building market share is more important, or as important, as current revenue or immediate cost reduction.  Sales angle: show how you can help the customer increase their customer base.

 

To Sum it all up I believe the multimillion dollar purchase was be the following.

Some companies spend big money getting their products and services into the hands of their customers. Companies invest in other companies for a myriad of reasons but the main reason is so they can make profit. For instance, insurance companies take in a great deal of cash flow, but their annual profit depends on how well they invest that money.

 

Another reason companies invest in other companies is to hedge their bets - meaning, companies in today's world economy have a 5-7 period where they will either die or reinvent themselves. Competition is so fierce, that if one aspect of the business slows or dies, there is always another source of profit if they're divested in other areas such as investments in other companies.
