MANAGEMENT OF COMPANY SALES, PURCHASES, MERGERS, AND DIVISIONS (M&A)
We offer professional consulting in the field of company acquisitions and purchases, acting as the lead advisor on either the buyer’s or seller’s side.
Company takeovers and acquisitions, also known as M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions), are transactions that we manage and guide as consultants. They involve the transfer or merging of ownership of companies, other business entities, or their operational units. Together with our clients, we define the objectives and motives for the acquisition or purchase. We help identify target companies and assess how the acquisition or purchase could contribute to our client’s business goals.
M&A Phases:
Strategy: Together with clients, we define the objectives and motives for the acquisition or purchase. We identify target companies and assess how the acquisition or purchase could contribute to their business goals.
Due diligence: We conduct a thorough review of the target company, including financial verification, legal review, market and competition assessment, operational analysis, etc.
Deal structuring: We determine the terms and structure of the deal, which may take the form of a share acquisition, asset purchase, or merger.
Negotiation and closing: We negotiate the final terms of the deal, prepare and execute contractual documents, and close the transaction.
Post-integration: After the deal is closed, we assist the client in merging the two companies or integrating the newly acquired assets into existing operations.
As M&A consultants, we offer support in every phase of the process while ensuring efficiency, success, and legal compliance.
MANAGEMENT OF CORPORATE FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING
Financial restructuring is a process designed for companies facing liquidity problems or over-indebtedness, aiming to reduce financial obligations. It involves optimizing the capital structure to increase financial efficiency and create greater value for all stakeholders.
Restructuring often starts with voluntary measures such as:
debt rescheduling,
interest rate reductions,
partial write-offs or debt-to-equity conversions.
These strategies provide companies with more flexibility in managing obligations while maintaining operations and improving stability.
In more critical situations, legal insolvency procedures may be required, such as:
preventive restructuring,
compulsory settlement.
A comprehensive restructuring plan is essential and may include:
asset divestment options,
additional financing needs assessment,
free cash flow projections for debt servicing,
scenario planning in case of failed negotiations with creditors,
drafting proposals for banks and financial institutions.
We provide full support throughout the process — from business analysis and document preparation to expert guidance — to help companies regain stability and improve their financial performance.
INDEPENDENT BUSINESS REVIEW (IBR)
An IBR (Independent Business Review) is an objective business assessment, typically required by banks or financial institutions when a company is in financial distress or faces potential insolvency.
Our IBR covers key aspects of the company, including:
current financial position,
market and competitive positioning,
governance structure,
operational efficiency.
What you gain from an IBR:
an independent and clear view of the business and future outlook,
assessment of restructuring, refinancing or insolvency procedure needs,
understanding of risks for investors or stakeholders,
a basis for sound decisions on future business direction.
An IBR serves as a strong foundation for creditor negotiations, recovery planning, and strategic decision-making.
VALUATION OF COMPANIES, REAL ESTATE, MACHINERY, AND EQUIPMENT
In cooperation with our partners, we offer valuation services for companies, real estate, machinery, and equipment.
Company valuation is the process of assessing a company’s value, performed for various purposes such as company sales, mergers and acquisitions, financial reporting, fundraising, and strategic decision-making. There are several methods and approaches, but all aim to provide a fair estimation of a company’s worth. Common modern valuation methods include the Comparable Company Analysis, Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method, Asset-based valuation, and the Transaction method.
We work closely with our clients throughout the valuation process, guiding them step by step and preparing reports in line with International Valuation Standards (IVS).
Real estate valuation involves determining the market value of a property by assessing its economic worth in current market conditions. It is used for property sales, taxation, mortgage financing, or financial reporting purposes.
Depending on the type of property and valuation purpose, various methods are used: comparable sales, income-based methods, cost approaches, and land valuation methods. Our experts provide accurate and objective valuations in accordance with IVS and legal regulations. In addition to fair valuation, we provide critical insights and disclose any relevant risks impacting the property’s value.
We also actively perform machinery and equipment valuations, particularly relevant when companies possess surplus assets or need to determine liquidation or bankruptcy value.
Machinery valuation assesses the value of equipment for purposes such as sales, insurance, taxation, financing, or business liquidation. It focuses on determining the market value based on condition, age, efficiency, and other factors.
This process also requires industry expertise, equipment condition assessments, technical documentation reviews (such as maintenance records), and evaluations of operational functionality.
FINANCIAL DUE DILIGENCE
Financial due diligence is a key step we carry out during mergers and acquisitions (M&A) processes.
We conduct an in-depth review of the financial health of the target company. The goal is to understand its business operations, assess financial performance, profitability, and long-term sustainability. We examine critical areas such as:
revenue and profit trends,
cash flows,
inventory,
debt and liabilities,
potential financial risks.
We also evaluate the company’s financial forecasts and assess whether they are realistic and well-supported. Additionally, we analyze accounting policies and practices to ensure compliance with relevant standards, and we review any ongoing or potential financial and tax disputes that may impact company value.
Based on our findings, we prepare a detailed report, while keeping the client informed throughout the process. The report plays a critical role in making informed decisions regarding acquisitions, mergers, sales, or investments.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
Financial optimization is a continuous process aimed at improving the financial efficiency and profitability of our clients. It includes ongoing analysis, identification of opportunities, planning, implementation, monitoring, and adjustment.
Key steps in this process:
Current state analysis: Review of financial statements, revenue and cost trends, cash flows, and other key indicators.
Opportunity identification: Based on the analysis, we identify areas for improvement, such as cost reduction, cash flow management, inventory optimization, or higher investment returns.
Strategic planning: We create detailed action plans and strategies (new budgeting approaches, debt management strategies, business model innovations).
Implementation & monitoring: Once strategies are set, we execute them and continuously monitor performance, making necessary adjustments.
Review & refinement: Financial optimization is ongoing. We regularly review results and adapt our strategies based on market shifts, internal changes, or financial trends.
