We have more than 50 years of combined experience in the M&A and have learned that M&A projects require reliable diagnoses, expertise, experience, methodical approach, teamwork, perseverance, resilience & creativity, negotiation skills, overview and flawlessness. All at the same time. Large multinationals and conglomerates have teams and budgets for M&A transactions. Yet most companies need additional M&A support and expertise. We are ready to team up with you.

Usually, the decision to sell a company is not an easy one. The decision to sell triggers a complex and time-consuming process that must be managed with great care, confidentiality, and integrity. The motivations for selling are diverse: continuity, profitability, relocation, non-core focus, succession, value capitalization or, for example, differing opinions within the management team about prospects. Often it is a mix of these factors that leads the entrepreneur and/or the management team to this fundamental decision. Deventures can assist you in all phases of the sale process, valuing the business, preparing the sale documentation, creating a list of potential buyers, setting up the data room, creating a transaction structure, negotiating through to closing the transaction.

Every acquisition has its particularities. Whether it is a strategic acquisition, a management buy-out, a management buy-in or a company succession: each variant has a different starting point and its own requirements for the process. There are many reasons for the decision to acquire. A potential target company could secure sales, profitability and thus the company value in the future, help to establish a brand, gain access to the (international) market, secure access to resources and know-how or, for example, being a platform for further acquisitions via add-ons. We help you to manage the entire acquisition process to acquire the best possible target company.

To achieve stable growth, your company needs to continuously improve and maintain its performance. This influences the company value at the exit time. We support you in a structured process to identify strategic value drivers over a period of at least two years before a planned exit and to derive concrete recommendations for action for your business.

Some situations require growth capital. It is essential to determine the best financing method and finding a balance between equity and debt financing. This requires expertise and good contacts to numerous banks and investors (e.g. private equity companies or private individuals/family offices). We support our clients in financing the growth of their business.
