Your Goals and Our Strategy

We listen and work with our clients to achieve their goals and optimal deal Value. Should growth be scaled? Does the company need a strategic partner for internationalization? Or a successor to lead the entrepreneur into the future?

Having built our own businesses and completed hundreds of transactions over 20 years, we understand this situation and the motivations for change. With two experienced partners in each mandate, we develop a Value-enhancing strategy towards the elaborated goal.

Evaluation

Due to our many years of experience, daily exchange with strategists and investors, and access to internal and external data, we are able to reliably Value companies. This also applies to the valuations of credit financing, bonds and equities.

Due Diligence

We prepare in-depth examination of the companies in order to identify special features at an early stage and thus increase the probability of transaction success. In addition, we closely support our clients in the execution of due diligence reviews by investors.

Creation of the Equity Story and Documentation

We develop the equity story with our client, tell it in such a way that strategists and financial investors recognize the Value and potential, and prepare all the documents required for communication with investors as well as the successful execution of the transaction process. Through deep understanding of technology, we can derive the resulting change and incorporate it into the equity story.

Identify Buyers/Sellers

The most important tool besides project-related, intensive research is our self-developed CRM and deal management system, in which the market and transaction experience of our partners and employees as well as an extensive investor network have been bundled since 2004. These data are continuously enriched with external data.

Process Selection

We help determine the optimal transaction process to achieve the best possible Value. This can be a freely negotiated sale or purchase as well as a competitive auction process.

Negotiations

Our well-established team brings experience from hundreds of international transactions to the negotiating table. Through our expertise we are equipped to answer complex questions throughout the entire negotiation process. Our job is to anticipate issues, hurdles and pitfalls so that you are always well prepared throughout the negotiation process.

Conclusion

Without professional guidance, a transaction can easily lose momentum between the letter of intent and the closing phase. Our team remains focused and tenacious until the transaction is successfully closed. Because every deal is our deal.
