You don’t want to pay too much or ask too little. Maybe initially, it’s just a matter of clarifying whether a transaction is worthwhile before starting a larger project. Our experts differentiate between value and price as this is the only practical approach. There is no reliable general recipe, but there are specific solutions. Interested? Please contact...
