STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS
We guide large SMEs and family-owned groups efficiently through the acquisition process. Our services are tailored to your business needs.
For family entrepreneurs
Are you considering strategic acquisitions to grow, open up new markets or acquire important technological expertise?
From the M&A acquisition strategy and alignment with overarching corporate goals, through the initial market analysis to the final negotiation, we accompany you professionally and straightforwardly through the entire M&A process.Through broad market research and the development of new ideas for potential target companies, we open doors and maximize your chances of success.As a consulting partner with strong implementation skills, we ensure an open and constructive negotiating atmosphere with potential target companies, in which your strategic goals and economic advantages, rather than misunderstandings or emotions, ultimately determine the outcome.The cost-benefit factor of our service often significantly exceeds that of internal resources. We not only offer a high success rate for a successful closing, but also pay attention to the strategic and cultural fit of the acquired company in your corporate family right from the start. This means that we have the often challenging post-merger phase in mind right from the start of the process.
For managing directors, CEOs and CFOs
Your time and resources are already stretched in the day-to-day running of your business and the time-consuming planning and execution of a company acquisition requires a considerable amount of additional internal manpower. If timely execution is also critical to the overall success of the transaction, it is often advisable to seek external support from a specialized buy-side M&A consultancy.We use a clear and comprehensible roadmap to map the individual M&A process steps within a measurable time horizon. In contrast to participating in opportunity-driven bidding processes, you gain comprehensive control over the entire process.Our approach allows you to get to the negotiating table quickly and obtain a proof of concept before any further commitments are made.We know that cost is an important factor. That’s why we offer a flexible solution with no long-term subscriptions.You can always rely on us to represent your interests effectively and help you achieve your goals in a timely and resource-efficient manner.
For divisional managing directors and business unit heads
Are you considering acquiring a company to strengthen the market position of your business unit? You certainly know your industry and your market inside out and know exactly which strategic and technological steps are needed to set the course for long-term success for your business unit. But you still lack an experienced M&A sparring partner who can make up for a lack of capacity and guarantee you access to the decision-makers of the most strategically suitable target companies? Then we are your partner for the secure achievement of your goals through strategic acquisitions. Our anonymous targeting ensures discretion and allows you to identify potential targets without jeopardizing your reputation. In contrast to the supposedly more favorable bidding process, which often leads to overpaying and reputational damage, we offer a proactive and deeply researched selection of targets that optimally match your requirements.
For M&A departments
Many of our clients have internal corporate development or M&A capacities.Nevertheless, they repeatedly make use of our consulting services because we provide flexible support exactly where the need arises.For example, target research and addressing is a time-consuming process if it is to be approached successfully. Delegate the part that unnecessarily eats up your time.You may also have already had more or less successful experience with bidding processes. However, if you want to pursue M&A proactively and strategically, you should refrain from relying on such “opportunities” and instead look for target companies on your own. Select the targets whose acquisition best meets your strategic corporate objectives. Thanks to our unique approach to target addressing, we open the doors to further negotiations for you and generally avoid expensive bidding processes that cost you a lot of money even if you do not emerge from the auction as the winner.We are happy to take on the administrative issues or project management and work closely with you as a powerful project team.You benefit significantly from our demonstrably high success rate and shorter lead time to closing.
