Corporate finance and value creation for the German market

Both. We help build enterprise value and run the finance function day to day (reporting, forecasting, KPIs, investor relations), and we lead the financing, sale or acquisition when the moment comes.

Start earlier than feels necessary, and start with the numbers. Most succession routes, whether a family handover, a management buyout, or a sale to a strategic or an investor, become easier when the company's reporting, contracts and dependencies are in order well before anyone outside sees them. We work with owners to get the company transaction-ready, compare the realistic routes on real numbers, and then run the chosen process with the discretion these situations demand. Nothing goes to market before you decide it should.

Keep the Hausbank relationship; it is worth a lot. But a single relationship is not a market view. Growth financing, acquisition debt or a refinancing often gets better terms when your house bank knows other banks and debt funds are looking too, and larger financings increasingly involve lenders beyond the traditional banking relationship. We prepare the model and financing materials, create that comparison quietly, and let you negotiate from an informed position without damaging the relationship you have built.

Yes. We can work with German owners and management in German. Cross-border processes usually run in both languages: German with you and your local advisors, English with international buyers, investors or lenders, and we manage the cultural differences as part of the process.

Just a sense of what you're trying to achieve. Everything else, from accounts to forecasts to investor materials, can follow once we know where you're headed. Don't wait until things feel ready; early conversations are usually the most valuable ones.
