Market Due Diligence by maconda for strategic investor from China
The support of service companies in strategic and operational questions as well as the support of investors in this multi-layered "industry" has long been one of the core topics of maconda. This is true with regard to company-related services as well as in terms of service to end customers. In the health care sector, both aspects play a role: Services are "sold" to doctors and clinics, ordered by patients and paid for by health insurance companies. And in between there are a wide variety of intermediaries. The high level of complexity is almost tangible - a real challenge for an investor who wants to invest in a company from the healthcare sector, especially if this investor comes from abroad. maconda supported a "strategic" investor in an acquisition in the dental sector at the end of 2013.
