We support business owners and investors at every stage: planning, finance, acquisitions, operational leadership and business continuity. Six service lines that can be engaged individually or combined into a single programme.
It is a journey we have led first-hand from start to finish, taking on management roles inside the company where needed: from the business plan to the sale to an international industrial group.
Growth strategy, value targets and capital requirements.
Finding and selecting the investment fund, structuring its entry.
Selecting target companies, negotiating and closing the deals.
Integrating the acquired companies and expanding abroad.
Preparing the company and managing the sale.
We analyse short and medium-term financing needs and identify the most suitable forms of funding. We check that objectives and strategies are sustainable in light of financial commitments and expected returns on capital, and we support the company in its dealings with banks and lenders.
The business plan is the starting point of every growth journey. We build it together with the owner: it defines the project, how it will be delivered and the expected results, and it is the document the company uses to present itself to banks, funds and potential buyers. It makes the value of the business objective and measurable.
We manage acquisitions and disposals across all their strategic, operational and financial aspects, from the first analysis to signing. We also lead growth-by-aggregation (build-up) projects: we select target companies, carry out the acquisitions and oversee their integration into the group, because the value of a deal is realised after closing.
We help shareholders and companies open their capital to investment funds: we prepare the company, identify the investor best suited to the project and structure the transaction. We remain alongside the shareholders and the fund after the investment, as the plan is delivered and until the stake is sold.
We help owners and managers identify the critical areas of management and achieve consistent growth, with proven approaches to organisation, processes and information systems. When a project requires it, we join the company in interim roles, up to general management, to lead growth, reorganisation and entry into new markets first-hand.
Drawing on decades of experience, we offer solutions to simplify and properly manage the delicate phase of generational change in family businesses. A structured method helps avoid the most common mistakes and leads to efficient planning, including from a tax and inheritance perspective.
A project often touches several areas. We start with an introductory meeting to define the scope of the engagement together.
