Valuations & fairness opinions for mergers and acquisitions
In order to avoid being caught short when selling or buying a company, we determine the value of the company in question. We look in particular at the value of the assets, shares, capital holdings, risks, capital structure or the influence of financial transactions on the total value of the company. Such analyses lay the foundation for further negotiations.
Strategic reviews ahead of transactions
An analysis of the various aspects and financial consequences of your transactions allows you to make better informed decisions. Our Corporate Finance team helps you evaluate and document the potential risks and benefits of the transactions you are considering, such as an acquisition, a merger, a financing round or a fundraising. In this way, we work to develop a realistic strategy based on your needs to achieve your goals and ambitions as a shareholder. Trust our experience and expertise.
Analysis of your company's financial situation
A thorough financial analysis of companies forms the basis for a well thought out investment strategy. Our team of experts closely monitors the development of the financial statements and thus maintains an overview of the overall financial health of the companies in your investment portfolio or of potential investment opportunities.
