Cross-border deals on the increase

Article Abstract:

Cross-border transactions are not only for the large multinational businesses but smaller firms can acquire and be sold to overseas operators. Many US based firms have used the UK to gain access to European markets but the introduction of the Euro may change the situation. Some companies are in demand due to the globalisation of their industry, such as automobile parts manufacturing. Some 2 billion pounds sterling has been spent by overseas firms on purchasing businesses in Nottingham, England, during 1996-1998, firms based in Nottingham have spent 1 billion pounds on foreign firms.
