How we run a process
Five stages, one senior team throughout.
Preparation
We test the equity story, the numbers and the obstacles a buyer will find, before the market does.
Positioning
We define the investment case, the valuation range and the right buyer universe.
Market approach
We contact a selected group of counterparties under strict confidentiality.
Negotiation
We create competitive tension and negotiate price, structure and protections.
Closing and beyond
We coordinate documentation and conditions to completion, then monitor post-closing obligations.
Cross-border transactions
The right counterparty is often in another jurisdiction.
The most attractive buyer or target often sits in another country. We work with local counsel and advisers to bridge differences in legal frameworks, tax structures, reporting standards and business culture across Europe, North America and Latin America.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
When should I start preparing a sale?
Ideally two to three years before the intended exit. That time allows you to address weaknesses, reduce dependence on the owner, clean up reporting and choose the right market window.
How long does a sale process take?
Typically six to twelve months from mandate to closing, depending on preparation, complexity, buyer type, financing and any regulatory approvals.
Do you advise on partial sales and minority investments?
Yes. We advise on full exits, partial sales, minority investments and strategic partnerships.
Discuss your transaction confidentially.
Every engagement begins with a confidential conversation about your objectives, timing and options.
