Making optimal business transactions
The globalization of markets, the strategic reorientation to business models and the need to prepare for business successors has considerably increased the number of business transactions.
Readiness, functional know-how, industry expertise, and most importantly experience are all critical success factors, which determine whether a business transaction ultimately creates or takes away value.
In this environment, corporate finance is more or less a top management undertaking. In addition to optimizing the arrangement of business transactions, we support our clients during all phases of corporate financing, beginning with start-ups situations in addition to the expansion and maturation phase as well as during financial and corporate restructuring. Accordingly, the following represents our main service areas:
-
Mergers & Acquisitions: Creating corporate structure for the future
M&A transactions present central corporate-policy courses of action. Mergers and acquisitions are fundamental building blocks for growth and cost cutting strategies. We design and implement M&A strategies for all phases. Our goal is for our clients to have sustainable and successful transactions.
-
Corporate Valuation: Optimally preparing for negotiations
In accordance with accepted business valuation methods, we support our clients by properly assessing the value of their business. We do not merely use formal appraisal techniques. We place much more value on the proper modelling of strategic value potential, e.g. economies of scope related to vertical or horizontal integration projects.
-
Due dilligence: Recognizing value drivers and value takers
On a number of occasions, due diligence analyses are a expression of necessary corporate management care. Our service portfolio includes commercial due dilligence as well as financial due dilligence. With respect to potential sales contracts, we offer vendor due dilligence as well as vendor assistance in preparation for conducting third-party assessments.
-
Equity Strategy: Properly finanzing growth
Growth strategies are seldom financed by operating cash flow alone. A sound equity basis makes for a competitive advantage. We structure and assist you in obtaining equity, from the receiving of seed money, or rather venture capital funds including your company´s IPO.
-
Liabilities Restructuring: Regaining the ability to act
Corporate restructuring is multi-faceted. In many cases, regaining operational performance is not achieved. In parallel, accounting restructuring can be performed, so for instance, in the cases of an ongoing decrease in equity or complicated property ownership structures.
-
Financial Risk Management: Recognizing and managing financial risks
Establishing transparency for existing financial risks is the basis for proper financial decisions and effective risk management. Financial risk mapping allows us to identify central risk factors and evaluate existing risks.
-
Specialized Services: Professionally solving financial subproblems
Financial issues are becoming increasingly complex. Such examples include the accurate appraisal of investment projects or the increase in corporate credit-worthiness. We support our clients by offering a variety of specialized services, e.g. capital budgeting, business valuation, fairness options and internal rating procedures.
