M & A

We advise our clients on business transactions and on raising private equity and venture capital as well as:

• Purchase of companies
• Sale of companies
• Mergers
• Management buy-outs/buy-ins
• Capital procurement

With our commercial, legal and technical expertise, we can provide assistance during the entire transaction. From the compilation of an investment strategy, through the drawing up of an information memorandum and financial planning, to negotiating the contract. The projects we undertake frequently become essential elements in strategic reorientations or extensive restructurings. Our expertise even enables us to sell a company out of insolvency within tight time limits.

We have acquired methodology and know-how in large international corporate finance consultancy and investment companies. With our years of experience as investment managers, we know how institutional investors think.

Also, to us, a transaction is a transaction, no matter how bis or small. Every one is handled with the same high level of care.

Succession regulations: Management buy-outs/buy-ins

We structure and support the acquisition and sale of companies through the existing management (buy-outs) or through the new management (buy-ins). In this way, we enable

• The solution of the succession issue with a gradual retreat by the director
• The protection of the company as well as its director and his/her family
• The continuance of the management culture (in an MBO) or the introduction of additional management expertise (in an MBI)
• The avoidance of a sale to a competitor
• The continuance of the company name and company philosophy.

After the deal, there is a need for integration

Transaction closed, so what now? Strategies that were originally jointly held are now blurred, the desired synergy potential has now fizzled out, and processes and systems are mismatched. Before half-hearted compromises can hinder the creation of a common business culture and before the integration of two originally independent organisations is doomed to failure, professional Post Merger Management should come into play. Concentro Management can help with this too.
