Tack Room Capital

In 2024, the Czech Republic implemented significant tax reforms, including an increase in the corporate income tax rate from 19% to 21%. Additionally, starting 📆 January 1, 2025, new tax regulations will affect the sale of business shares. Currently, selling a business share is exempt from personal income tax if held for more than five years (or 3 in some cases, e.g. shares of an a.s.). From January 1, 2025: 💰 Tax exemptions will apply only to income up to 40 million CZK. 💵 Income exceeding this threshold will be fully taxed. But ‼️ taxable income can be reduced by the market value of the share as of December 31, 2024, provided it is determined through an expert valuation. To minimize your tax burden, consider obtaining an expert valuation of your share as of December 31, 2024, even if you don't plan to sell immediately. This proactive step could be beneficial in the future. Our firm collaborates with valuation experts, tax advisors, and companies specializing in business sales. Feel free to contact us; we'll be glad to connect you with the right professionals.

🌟 Tack Room Capital just wrapped up two inspiring days at the Engaged Investments Conference in Prague, where investors, founders, and thought leaders from across the CEE and beyond came together to discuss the future of venture capital and strategic exits. The event featured impactful sessions on defense tech and cybersecurity—a nod to the growing need for innovative, dual-use technologies. The panels and fireside chats brought valuable insights for example: 💥  Michal Pechoucek, former CTO of Avast, now Evolution Equity Partners delved into the critical role of cybersecurity in today’s investment landscape.  💥 Marvin Liao from Diaspora Ventures shared actionable insights on scaling portfolios with a focus on both growth and liquidity, while  💥 Marcin Hejka from OTB Ventures highlighted how early-stage investments in tech sectors are becoming increasingly attractive, with impressive exit opportunities on the horizon. Thank you to the Engaged Investments organizers and Eliška Vámošová for hosting such a well-curated event! This conference is fast becoming an essential platform for those looking to connect on opportunities for investment exits and impactful collaborations. If you’re a fund or a founder interested in exploring strategic exits, let’s connect to discuss how Tack Room Capital can help! 🚀 Or meet Michal Feigler and Oliver Bori for coffee at the next event 😉

🌐 $6 trillion – that was the peak M&A deal value last reached in 2021. What next? 📊 Since then, economies around the world have experienced rising interest rates and the related cost of debt financing. As M&A is often largely fueled by debt, deal values dropped to $2.9 trillion throughout 2022-2023. 📈Recently, central banks have started cutting interest rates without (hopefully) triggering a recession, allowing the economy to achieve a "soft landing." Apart from active investment managers, this opens up opportunities for corporate acquisitions. Indeed, companies are reporting positive and growing earnings, according to consensus estimates. In a survey by KPMG, 90% of CEOs with significant "firepower" indicated that they are ready to pursue numerous deals heading into 2025. This year alone, the deal value is expected to rebound to $3.1 trillion, with a projected growth rate of 6% year-over-year. At Tack Room Capital, we anticipate great opportunities in the technology, media, energy, financial, and healthcare sectors. These industries already account for a large share of deal value so far this year and are experiencing growing projected earnings and free cash flows. Given their manageable debt servicing and other liabilities, these sectors are positioned as suitable buyers with investment capacity.  📍 Tack Room Capital is dedicated to support corporate acquisitions, an area where we have extensive expertise. Our team specializes in deals across the industrial and new technology sectors, working with companies ranging from innovative startups to established industry leaders. The bottom line is that we can expect that bolt-on acquisitions of smaller companies in various industries are likely to occur. The balance sheets of many companies in multiple sectors look solid, free cash flows growing, and investment capacity is steadily recovering. #mergersandacquisitions #corporatedevelopment

❓ Did you know? Despite global challenges, the Czech Republic continues to stand strong in the M&A landscape. In 2023, Czechia emerged as one of the busiest M&A markets in Central and Eastern Europe, with tech deals leading the charge—recording a 36% rise year-on-year. The sale of businesses founded in the 1990s also surged, driven by generational transitions. Fast forward to 2024, and while deal activity has slowed globally, Czechia still led the CEE region in terms of deal value during the first quarter. Key transactions in the energy sector, including the acquisition of a gas distribution network operator, show a growing focus on sustainable energy. Meanwhile, tech remains a strong player, with 54 deals already recorded in Q1 2024. While we are still waiting for the numbers on Q2 and Q3, at Tack Room Capital, we make navigating this dynamic M&A environment simple and straightforward. Whether you're looking to buy or sell, we can help you make the most of these opportunities.
