They are more personal and have a significantly higher impact &#8211; both operationally and emotionally. At the same time, SMEs often lack the internal setup to drive transactions forward in a structured manner alongside their day-to-day business: limited capacities, a lack of M&amp;A roles, incomplete data rooms and little experience in due diligence or integration management.
