In December 2024, AS Kodupaber signed a purchase agreement to acquire the long-established wholesale company Ristart AS. The transaction marked an important milestone in Kodupaber’s growth strategy, supported throughout by Grant Thornton Baltic – from the first negotiations to the successful merger of the two companies in June 2025.
There can be many reasons for seeking a restructure. It could be with a view to streamlining the business, preparing for sale, as part of succession planning, or for tax or financial purposes.
There is clear evidence that corporate re-structuring and re-organisation has significantly increased in recent times, as a by-product of the global economic downturn.
