Cross Border M&A

Buy-Side | Corporate Acquisitions | Strategic Search, Analysis and Financing of Takeover Targets

Professionalize your inorganic growth and international expansion

Are you at a point with your company where you can only achieve the same growth rate and profit margin as before to a limited extent and are looking for new ways? The acquisition of a direct or indirect market participant could be the solution for further future entrepreneurial development. The advantages of international acquisitions can be, for example, larger market shares, less competition, additional know-how, new innovations that complement your product or service portfolio, access to lucrative customer portfolios with cross- and upside potential, new market developments, process optimisations and higher returns. In short, the goal in strategic M&A is to identify potential synergies that would be difficult to replicate through organic growth. We support you in the international strategic search, identification, analysis and acquisition of potential takeover targets to optimise your corporate development.

Dual Process

(Acquisition & Fundraising)

In addition to the search, analysis and acquisition of strategic takeover targets, we are also happy to help you with any financing of your M&A activities to secure cash flow management and to avoid having to limit your search horizon too much in the case of extraordinary or one-off opportunities. Use the additional leverage of a strong financial partner and gain another independent opinion with the potential for further future financial support of your buy and build strategy.

Acquisition Process

We initiate the international search process to identify suitable acquisition targets according to the pre-defined metrics and the overarching corporate strategy. After an initial evaluation, the financing needs and internal opportunities are weighed up and discussions are started simultaneously with interested financing partners for your buy and build strategy.

Financing-/Funding Process

After the identification and analysis of the desired acquisition targets and an initial expression of interest, the final amount open and to be financed for the acquisitions is weighed. With this investment opportunity, suitable financing partners and investors are approached to define a joint strategy and future transaction.

Comparison And Decision

At the end of the simultaneous processes, you will be able to make the decision that makes the most sense for your company in the long term, taking into account your current capital structure and the possible need for further acquisitions in the future.

We focus on your interests and those of your shareholders for the maximum return on investment
