Before selling a business, it is essential to take certain preparatory measures to ensure a smooth transition for potential buyers.

Exit preparation actively emphasizes increasing enterprise value through targeted strategic measures. Every business has the potential for further growth and development.
We help identify and implement promising initiatives ranging from expansion into new locations and markets to diversification of sales channels. For instance, marketing campaigns or SEO enhancements can significantly boost revenues. Higher operational efficiency can also be achieved through process optimization and digital support systems.
A compelling and professional presentation of your firm’s key values is essential in attracting potential buyers. This includes up-to-date, well-designed sales materials and a strong online presence.
By implementing these measures, we can build an authentic brand identity, through social media activity, industry platform engagement, corporate videos, and high-quality images of your facilities, which significantly contribute to a smooth transaction process.
KPIs should be measured on a regular basis to ensure transparency and effective decision-making. Strategic and operational controlling become central elements of the preparation process.
We assist with implementing KPI dashboards, creating clear monthly reports, and optimizing accounting practices. This increases transparency regarding internal developments and enhances the company’s attractiveness to potential buyers.
Minimizing risk is critical when preparing for a sale and establishing a second management tier reduces dependency on the owner. Additionally, registering trademarks and patents protects your intellectual assets, further reducing risk. With a higher concentration of customers, the associated cluster risk should be minimized by focusing on acquiring new customers and investing in better IT systems to protect against vulnerabilities.
Your company’s value can be assessed using various models such as discounted cash flow (DCF) or industry multiples. However, ultimately, the true value is determined by the M&A market. A seamless transition from sales preparation to the M&A process is essential to determine the actual value.
We manage the transaction process and develop tailored marketing campaigns aligned with investor expectations, ensuring optimal market positioning.
We approach potential buyers using an anonymized profile of your company and take over project management for the transaction process so that you can focus on your day-to-day operations.
We prepare the data space, coordinate management presentations, and manage communications between you, prospective buyers, and their advisors, therefore ensuring efficient and streamlined processes.
As your strong negotiation partner, we drive competitive bidding processes and finalize transaction structure details to ensure a smooth signing and closing process.
Through partnerships with other companies, which typically involve the acquisition or sale of shares, we build a larger corporate group. Depending on the strategic approach, partner companies either continue operating under their own name and management or are fully integrated into the broader group.
Partner companies benefit from shared knowledge within the group, the development of unified standards, and the collective creation of innovative solutions.
As a group, we gain better access to skilled workers through enhanced internal training programs, new career development opportunities, and increased brand recognition.
We leverage centralized procurement, benefit from larger purchasing volumes, have access to substantial financial resources, and source components directly from manufacturers.
Significant investments, such as in digitalization, are undertaken within the group, which allows us to operate more efficiently, adopt new technologies, and share risk.

Realizing synergies following the merger of two companies.
We develop a comprehensive set of measures to identify potential risks and synergy opportunities that must be considered during the integration process.
We create a detailed integration plan that outlines key steps, milestones, responsibilities, and timelines.
Clear communication with all stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and other key parties, is essential to build trust and avoid misunderstandings.
Integration measures are executed while considering various aspects such as personnel, processes, IT systems, company culture, and business models.
The integration process is continuously monitored, and the plan is adjusted as needed to ensure all objectives are achieved.
Once the integration is successfully completed, the project is closed, and the process is evaluated to derive key learnings for future acquisitions.
