Clear foundations for your M&A move

No. This focus project prepares your next M&A move in terms of content and strategy: business plan with scenarios, valuation corridors, readiness assessment and options. On this basis you can decide whether and how you enter a formal process – with us, with your existing partners or with specialised M&A advisors.

The methodological framework is proven, the content is always individual. Scope, depth of modelling, scenarios and questions are tailored together with you to your situation, ownership structure and objectives – an “off-the-shelf” M&A project would be neither sensible nor effective here.

We deliver a well-founded but lean valuation logic with corridors and sensitivities, based on your business plan and market-standard multiples. This is about decision-readiness, not a comprehensive financial, tax or legal due diligence – these steps can follow in a next process stage. Naturally the work can be taken over by due diligence partners and the due diligence may thus become somewhat more cost-effective.

Yes. For further steps we can draw on a network of established financing partners (e.g. banks, debt providers) and specialised M&A advisors with whom we already work. When it fits your project, we recommend suitable partners and coordinate the handover – so the thread remains from preparation through to structuring and financing.

Yes. The project is deliberately designed so that majority and minority sales, strategic partnerships, financial investors and acquisitions can be considered. Which options are actually explored in depth depends on your goals, your profile and realistic market opportunities.

Yes. Particularly with concrete takeover or participation offers, the project helps to mirror the offer’s valuation, structure and assumptions against your own planning and alternative options. You thus make your decision on a clear, well-documented basis – towards co-shareholders, advisory board and financiers.
