Advantages: A standard work on corporate acquisitions and optimal financing structures under German law.

About the work:
The first edition was published under the title "New Forms of Corporate Financing" (Bernd Fahrholz). Companies are constantly seeking growth opportunities and optimal forms of financing. The aim is to fully exploit the possibilities of reducing financing costs, limiting liability, and relieving the balance sheet. The focus of this comprehensive work is on legal, accounting, and analytical issues, the solutions to which often make corporate financing possible in the first place. In addition to explaining the fundamental facts, great emphasis is placed on practical relevance, making the insights and recommendations understandable and applicable in similar financing cases.

"This book provides a truly excellent introduction to modern financing models for corporate acquisitions, project financing (using film funds as an example), and asset-backed financing. The author particularly emphasizes the value of financing companies. The book offers a good entry point for practitioners while also addressing concepts from academia and providing new food for thought in this regard. Overall, it is a well-rounded work that one might not have expected from a stressed chief banker." (Reader's comment)
