How does an M&A Project work?
Of course, each process is unique, but here is an example of an M&A Project:
Step 1: Screening
We analyze your company and figures to assess whether your business is ready to be sold. We also check if you meet our criteria for an M&A Project:
Your recurring turnover is 1 million euros or more
Your company is profitable and has an EBITDA of 250,000 euros or more
Your company is cash flow positive
You are looking for a buyer for the company or for a significant stake in the company
You want to be guided and go through the process together with M&A experts
Step 2: Preparation of files
We support you from A to Z in preparing an attractive sales file, including a substantiated information memorandum and valuation. While our financial and legal experts prepare the necessary documents, you will receive additional sales and marketing guidance to present your file in the most appealing way.

Step 3: Matchmaking with the right one acquirers
Based on your vision, values, and goals, we search for the right type of buyer (strategic, financial, management, individual, peer, or other). We then identify potential buyers and reach out to assess their interest and conditions. In case of concrete interest, and after consultation, we provide candidates with all the necessary information confidentially and guide them through the discussions to reach an agreement.
Strategic buyer
Looking for synergies such as market expansion, cost savings, or access to innovative solutions.
Financial buyer
Private equity, venture capital, or family offices seeking companies with strong growth opportunities for good returns.
Management
Existing management taking over the company, or new managers who take over and buy in full or in part.
Individual
Individuals who wish to take over a company to become entrepreneurs.
Step 4: Closing
We won’t stop until everything is completed, whether in cooperation with your lawyer or bookkeeper. For us, the process only ends when the legal documents are finalized, all signatures are on the contracts, you see the money in your account, and we have celebrated the success together.
