M&A

BUY SIDE

We support firms, investors, private equity funds and holding companies in the research, creation and structuring of deals targeting companies to be acquired or to partner with.

In acquisitions, price is not the only relevant matter: what is really relevant is the value an acquirer derives from a deal. We therefore follow a rigorous scouting and evaluation process by organizing all the phases to finalize an operation.

SELL SIDE

We accompany entrepreneurs, families and holding companies who intend to sell their business as part of projects of business enhancement, business growth or generational handover.

In the context of such complex projects, preparing the company for the sale, designing an effective process, and using specific skills to maintain operational leadership are all essential elements.

Through the implementation of our rigorous method and the leverage of our extensive network of relationships – both in Italy and abroad – we increase the likelihood for our customers to close a successful transaction.

Our goal – aligned with that of the seller – is to achieve the best possible result once a business is sold.
