FAQ: Acquiring a company in the United States

The main regulatory bodies to consider are CFIUS (for national security review), FTC/DOJ (for antitrust), and industry-specific regulators. International buyers should engage experienced advisors early to navigate these requirements effectively.

From initial contact to closing, a typical U.S. acquisition takes 9-12 months, though timing can vary based on deal complexity and regulatory requirements.

While not strictly required, having a U.S. entity can simplify the transaction process and provide tax advantages. REAG can help structure the acquisition vehicle appropriately for your specific situation.

U.S. acquisitions typically involve a combination of cash at closing and potential earnouts, with seller financing sometimes available. The specific structure depends on deal size and industry norms.

Success requires early cultural due diligence and a clear integration plan that respects both organizations’ values. REAG can help address cultural integration strategies throughout the acquisition process.
