【 摘 要 】

From the preface : The European Commission supports Member States by providing them withrecommendations, guidelines, information and good practices. For years, the EuropeanCommission has stimulated Member States to develop matching platforms to efficientlysupport sellers and buyers of SMEs in ownership change.A matching platform is a valuable link in the sale/acquisition chain of SMEs. Over theten past years, not only the European Commission has been pointing out the essential roleplayed by platforms. In many Member States matching platforms started or matured,either in the public sector, by private organizations or both (semi-public).Matching platforms are mentioned in all the EU business transfer reference documentsand more particularly in the Small Business Act and its Review in 2011, the 2006Communication, the 2013 Expert Group on SME Transfers and the recentEntrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan. Special attention is devoted to the importantchallenge of efficient matching platforms in Europe.As observed in the latest (2013) EU Expert Group on Business Transfers: There is no development in the type of matching platforms recommended by the2006 Expert Group. The “landscape” of matching platforms in Europe has changed over the past 10years, with, among others, the co-existence of private on-line platforms alongsidethe public platforms. There is a need for an update in quality standards and for the consultation ofmatching platforms themselves in order to understand their working and identifygood practices.
