Lessons Learned

Our insights from the project

Four points that make M&A transactions and MBOs significantly more robust for banks, investors and management

Integrated 3-year plan

P&L, cash, balance sheet forecast

Only an integrated plan truly convinces banks and investors. Sensitivity analyses must confirm ambitions.

Complete financing package

Banks + grants are complementary

Grants only work when they fit cleanly into the financing design. The concept must still calculate without grants.

Implementation considered

Integration & control with accountable team

The deal only works when roadmap, roles and accountabilities are in place. Without ambitious and motivated core personnel this doesn't work.

Strategic fit before structure

Clarify deal logic first

Without clear strategically sound concept there's no robust structure. Take sufficient time for clarity.
