Sale of a company

The basis for every successful sale is the awareness that every company has its own unique value. The development of the company and its employees are the foundation and potential for future success. All of this bears the signature of its entrepreneur, particularly in the case of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Such individual corporate structures demonstrate the demands placed on professional M&A advisory. A profound understanding of the individual value of a company, coupled with a holistic approach to strategy, is essential for the optimal achievement of objectives.

Another key role is to identify the best possible buyer. In the end, the deal is not automatically awarded to the bidder that offers the highest purchase price, but ideally also to the bidder that can demonstrate the best strategic fit from the company’s perspective. Management buy-outs or buy-ins can also be implemented as an exit option on the basis of individual or event-driven shareholder reasons.
