Are you thinking about seeking a private equity investor or do you want to know how to do it correctly?

Bringing in a private equity investor can be a planned strategic move or it can be a sudden need due to, for example, a generation change, market situation or personal life situation. One thing is certain: a one-time decision should not be taken lightly.

Finding a private equity investor is a huge puzzle that involves project management and communication with stakeholders. It is of paramount importance to ensure that:

  • the chosen strategy for finding a private equity investor supports your goals, which determines how extensively and what profile of private equity investors you should negotiate
  • your company's investment case and the factors affecting your company's value are presented correctly
  • the desired private equity investors are brought to the negotiating table and any bidding process is structured in a controlled manner and with respect for all parties. Partnership thinking often leads to the best outcome
  • negotiations focus on the terms that are important to you, but a successful outcome always
    requires compromises
  • as the main organizer, our task is to get the seller and buyer, as well as other stakeholders,
    such as financiers, tax advisors, legal advisors, commercial advisors, owners, boards and
    management, to play for the same goal

Olemme mukana todellisissa tilanteissa, joissa arvoa mitataan

Toteutamme vuosittain lukuisia yritysjärjestelyitä, joissa arvonmääritys ei ole teoriaa, vaan kauppahintaa ohjaava tekijä. Viime kädessä arvonmääritys on vain arvio hinnasta, mutta oikea arvo on se hinta, millä ostajat ja myyjät ovat valmiita tekemään kaupan. Emme ole vain analyysitalo, vaan kokemuksemme arvonmäärityksiin tulee todellisista yrityskauppaneuvotteluista, joihin yhdistyy vahva taloudellinen ja analyyttinen osaaminen.

Tunnemme sijoittajien, ostajien ja rahoittajien ajattelun

Parhaimmillaan arvonmääritys tukee eri sidosryhmien päätöksentekoa. Me tunnemme neuvottelujen dynamiikan ja tiedämme, mitä erilaiset osapuolet arvostavat. Pystymme rakentamaan arvonmäärityksemme tukemaan sidosryhmien päätöksentekoa edistäen ja nopeuttaen

Rakennamme selkeän ja ymmärrettävän lopputuloksen

Hyvä arvonmääritys on väline, jolla voi perustella, keskustella ja tehdä päätöksiä. Toisinaan turha rahoituskielen jargoni on syytä riisua pois, ja toisinaan se on kansainvälisiin neuvottelutarpeisiin välttämätöntä. Me huolehdimme, että lopputulos palvelee juuri sinun tarpeitasi, mutta on joka tilanteessa selkeä ja ymmärrettävä.
