Mergers & Acquisitions

Strategic advice on company acquisitions, mergers and succession planning – discreet, independent and results-driven.

Why professional M&A advice?

Buying or selling a company is one of the biggest financial decisions in business life. Without professional support, you risk overpaying, hidden risks or a failed transaction.

We accompany you through the entire M&A process – from strategic positioning through business valuation and due diligence to a successful closing. Throughout, we represent your interests exclusively.

Whether you want to sell your company, acquire a business or arrange succession – we ensure that you act informed, protected and successfully.

Our services in detail

1

Business valuation

A realistic valuation is the foundation of every successful transaction. We determine the value of your company using recognised methods – income approach, asset-based approach and market comparison.

We factor in industry-specific factors, intangible assets and future earnings potential to determine a fair and defensible price.

2

Due diligence

Before every transaction, we systematically examine the target company for financial, tax, legal and operational risks. You receive a comprehensive report with clear recommendations for action.

This way you know exactly what you are buying – and can hedge risks in the purchase agreement or adjust the price accordingly.

3

Succession planning

Business succession is more than a sale – it affects employees, customers and often the family too. Together with you we develop a succession strategy that considers all interests.

Whether an intra-family handover, a management buyout or a sale to a third party – we find the solution that suits you and support the entire process.

4

Negotiation & contract drafting

We support you during negotiations and coordinate cooperation with lawyers, notaries and tax advisors. We ensure fair contract drafting that protects your interests.

From the letter of intent through the purchase agreement to warranties and representations – every detail is carefully reviewed.

Avoiding common mistakes

These are the mistakes we see most often in practice

Selling a company without a professional valuation

Without a sound valuation you risk selling your life's work below value – or having unrealistic price expectations that deter buyers.

Neglecting due diligence

Hidden liabilities, tax risks or legal disputes can become costly after the purchase – and destroy the entire investment case.

Planning succession too late

A rushed succession leads to worse terms, unsettled employees and an unnecessary loss of value for the company.

Putting emotions above facts

Personal attachment to the company can cloud judgement about realistic valuations and fair negotiations – professional distance is essential.
