CROSS BORDER M&A

SELL-SIDE | EXIT | MERGER

Professionalize your business transfer or merger

The sale or merger of your business is probably one of the most important transactions in your entrepreneurial activity. Regardless of whether you are considering it for age-related and personal reasons or because you can better manage the next steps and goals in your business with an acquisition partner. This is precisely why it is essential to orientate yourself early on about the possible options, takeover partners and strategies and to analyse and professionally implement the process with an experienced partner and his network.

Dual Process

(Exit/Merger & Fundraising)

Many companies that are in a phase of potential change and entrepreneurial development are unsure about the perfect time to sell the company, to merge or to raise fresh capital and grow organically beforehand. Due to this problem and demand, DIGIALOG and its partners have initiated the Dual Process, in which you get an insight into both possibilities at the current time according to the market situation and interest, and then decide on the next and most suitable step. In this process, the following activities are implemented simultaneously:

Fundraising Process

We prepare the company and the documentation for a capital increase and search for suitable investors for a capital increase to implement further organic growth targets before an official company sale. The most suitable offers / funds are shortlisted for comparison with the offers from the sale/exit and merger process with strategic takeover partners.

Sellside/Merger Process

We prepare the company and the documentation for a sale or merger and search for suitable strategic takeover partners. The most suitable offers are shortlisted for comparison with the offers from the fundraising process via investors/funds.

Comparison And Decision

At the end of the simultaneously executed processes, you are given the opportunity to compare the offers / term sheets from a possible capital increase (fundraising) and those from a possible merger or sale. This allows you to make an independent and fact-based decision that is optimal for your company’s future.

We focus on your interests and those of your shareholders for maximum final net proceeds
