Divestitures, Carve-Outs, and Succession Solutions.

The success of any corporate transaction is fundamentally driven by systematic, diligent preparation. A core element of this is the development of an investor-oriented, robust, and credible business plan. This plan forms a critical component of the transaction documentation, which we leverage to clearly articulate the company’s value proposition, unique selling points, and future growth potential.

We identify and qualify suitable strategic and financial investors on a global scale, prioritizing them based on their strategic rationale and the industrial logic underpinning their interest. We manage and coordinate the entire transaction process — from preparation through to the successful execution of contract negotiations — providing our clients with comprehensive, hands-on support while allowing them to remain focused on their ongoing business operations.

Exit Readiness: Prepared for Opportunity

Corporate transactions are frequently driven by external triggers, leaving shareholders and management teams insufficiently prepared for a structured divestment process. Given the demands of day-to-day operations, proactively preparing for such a scenario often proves challenging.

Addressing succession planning or potential ownership changes well in advance is crucial, as many valuation-relevant and transaction-critical considerations should be strategically resolved prior to entering a formal process.

Working closely with our clients, we systematically identify these issues and develop tailored, actionable solutions. Our objective is to optimize transaction readiness well ahead of any potential divestiture, ensuring that our clients can respond decisively and efficiently when strategic opportunities arise — delivering full Exit Readiness.

Value Chain Expansion, Competitive Positioning, Growth Acceleration, and Internationalization.

In today’s increasingly complex and dynamic market environment, inorganic growth through acquisitions has become an essential component of the strategic toolkit for successful companies — including those within the mid-cap segment.

In close collaboration with our clients, we develop a clearly defined acquisition strategy grounded in industrial logic and strategic rationale. Key considerations include identifying optimal transaction sizes, value chain stages, product segments, and geographic markets where acquisitions would generate sustainable value and strategic synergies. We systematically assess the competitive landscape, identify potential acquisition targets with openness to strategic partnerships, and directly engage with decision-makers. Throughout the process, we assume responsibility for managing and coordinating the entire transaction lifecycle — from initial target screening and approach, through due diligence and valuation, to negotiation and successful execution.

In cases where our clients seek financially strong and reliable partners for their next stage of growth — or when a transformational transaction necessitates the raising of additional equity capital — we provide comprehensive advisory services, including:

1. Structuring and planning a tailored capital raising process aligned with the strategic objectives of our clients.
2. Preparing a professional, investor-oriented presentation of the company and the financing project, highlighting its value proposition and growth potential.
3. Identifying and selectively approaching suitable financial and strategic investors.
4. Coordinating and managing the investor due diligence process.
5. Leading negotiations through to the successful execution of the equity financing transaction.
