Optimization of your company for strategic buyers and financial investors

Our aim is to align your company or transaction object optimally with the needs of both strategic buyers and financial investors. We create structures that make your company attractive during the sales process in the areas of strategy, products, planning and management team.

Proactive error prevention in the M&A sell-side process

We help you to avoid typical mistakes in M&A processes by proactively addressing them before the actual transaction begins. Jointly, we develop strategic approaches and solutions for the central process components:

• Business planning: Development of a solid and realistic business plan.
• Strategy: Development of a clear and convincing corporate strategy.
• Sales visibility: Ensuring the transparency and predictability of sales.
• Management: Preparing and developing the management team for the transaction process.
• Information transparency and provision: Ensuring the transparent and comprehensive provision of information.
• Transaction expectations: Realistic assessment and communication of expectations for the transaction.

These measures ensure that your company is particularly attractive to potential buyers and investors and increase the chances of success in the sales process.

Different starting situations in M&A processes

Of course, we are aware that, depending on the initial situation, there may be different expectations and objectives from a seller's point of view, for example:

• Carve-Out 
• Succession 
• Growth financing 
• Exit of a financial investor
