Because your company is worth it.

What is my company worth?

Company valuation

The starting point of every M&A service is the company valuation. This provides a company with an initial indication of the expected sales price. However, the determination of enterprise value and equity value then largely depends on the subsequent negotiations. Especially in the case of an acquisition by a strategic investor, the price paid can deviate significantly from the calculated enterprise value, positively and negatively.

Your Industry.
Our Expertise.

Automotive industry

The German automotive industry is the most important industry in Germany and plays a crucial role in the country's prosperity and employment. However, it faces challenges such as the switch to sustainable drive technologies and digital transformation. This requires investments in electric vehicles, battery technologies, charging infrastructure and digital services. The industry must also adapt to changes that M&A opportunities, such as mergers and acquisitions, can bring.

Chemical industry

The German chemical industry is an important economic sector that contributes to the strength of the country and secures over 500,000 jobs. It excels in innovation and international leadership by developing and producing a wide range of chemicals and products for various industries. The chemical industry influences the economy as a whole and contributes to Germany's foreign trade balance. Our global presence makes us the ideal partner for M&A transactions in the chemical industry.

Consumer Goods and Trade

As the most important consumer market in Europe, Germany offers attractive opportunities for companies that have positioned themselves in the consumer goods and retail sector. Even if the individual market segments within the industry have their own specific characteristics and developments, ultimately each company’s success in this sector depends on the adaptation to consumer behaviour, which is precisely what has changed continuously and rapidly in recent years. Brick-and-mortar retailers must create attractive shopping experiences and integrate online retail concepts. Consumer goods manufacturers must focus on consumers' growing awareness of health, sustainability and social aspects. Companies that actively adapt and offer innovative solutions can benefit significantly from these changes and set themselves apart from the competition. M&A can be a useful means of driving innovation, generating or consolidating market share through buy-and-build concepts – and should be part of any active corporate strategy.

Green Energy & Infrastructure

Infrastructure projects are usually very large, complex and capital-intensive projects and transactions involving the financing of new infrastructure projects (greenfield) or the purchase/sale or implementation of renewal/growth programmes for existing infrastructure facilities (brownfield). In addition, particularly in the case of new technologies, capital raising is used to realise the first expansion stage of a major project.

Healthcare and Life Sciences

Healthcare and life sciences are significant sectors in the German economy with high innovation and employment rates. They are divided into medical care, industrial healthcare and other sectors. Medical care includes hospitals, clinics, doctors' practices and care facilities. The industrial health care industry provides products and services to the health care industry. Other sectors include pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices. In total, the healthcare industry employs around 5.8 million people, which is equivalent to around 17% of the workforce in Germany.

Industrial products and services

Industrials in Germany are an important economic factor and global leaders in various sectors such as mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Industrial companies contribute significantly to gross value added and innovation. German SMEs play an important role in the manufacture of sophisticated products and intermediate products. These companies are internationally successful and contribute to exports. The industrial sector is also an active area for M&A transactions, where we have a track record of around 60 completed deals.

Real Estate

The property and infrastructure market is one of the most important economic sectors in Germany and encompasses development, project planning, brokerage, management, trading and letting.

The expansion of infrastructure is crucial for economic development and location development.
