Summary

Even though no new particles were discovered at the LHC so far, LHCb
found deviations from the standard model predictions in $b\to s\mu\mu$
transitions with a significance above the 4 sigma level. Furthermore,
CMS found hints for the decay \hspace{0.05cm}$h\to\tau\mu$ and BaBar, BELLE and LHCb
observed hints for lepton flavour non-universality in tauonic $B$ decays.

In this talk I review various possibilities how to explain these
deviations from the SM expectations in some NP models. Possible
candidates are models with leptoquarks, but especially $Z^\prime$ models with
additional Higgs doublets provide a well motivated explanation of the
anomalies and predict interesting correlations, for example in
$\tau\to\mu\mu\mu$, and could also be directly discoverable at the LHC.
