Our Corporate Finance services
We support owner-managed businesses and companies across a wide range of needs.
Buying or selling a business or planning a succession is one of the most significant decisions an owner or company can make. We support you throughout the entire process, from the initial strategic considerations to the final agreement.
As part of our membership in Morison Global, we have access to a strong international network, providing unique opportunities for sparring as well as access to relevant buyers, investors, and partners across markets.
We take a hands-on approach to process management, valuation, negotiation, and structuring, ensuring an efficient transaction process and the best possible outcome.
We advise on:
Strategic clarification and preparation for sale or acquisition
Identification and outreach to relevant buyers or target companies
End-to-end process management from initial interest to closing
Negotiation of price, terms, and deal structure
In short: we provide a secure and professional process, with a trusted advisor by your side every step of the way.
A valuation is essential when considering a sale, acquisition, succession, or bringing in investors. We provide robust, well-founded valuations based on market data, financial analysis, and realistic future projections presented in a way that is clear and practical to use.
We deliver valuations for:
- Owner-managed businesses
- Small and growing companies
- Investors assessing potential acquisitions
- Banks and financial partners
This ensures you receive a transparent, well-documented valuation and a solid foundation for decision-making.
A strong sales process starts with a business that is well-prepared, well-documented, and professionally positioned. We help you review your financials, structure, contracts, processes, and documentation ensuring your business is fully prepared for buyer due diligence.
We focus on areas such as:
- Strengthening financials and key metrics
- Ensuring robust documentation and data quality
- Clarifying the business model and growth potential
- Improving reporting, contracts, and overall structure
The result is a business that appears attractive, well-documented, and market-ready enhancing the likelihood of a higher valuation and a smoother transaction process.
We support management in setting a clear direction and building a strong foundation for decision-making.
With a focus on financial performance, structure, and long-term development, we act as an active sparring partner in shaping your company’s strategy.
We help owner-managed businesses and companies secure the right funding and optimise their debt structure, making the business more robust and financially flexible.
We advise on:
- Equity capital (private investors, family offices, funds)
- Bank and loan financing
- Refinancing and debt optimisation
- Negotiation of improved terms with banks and lenders
- Funding for growth, acquisitions, and new projects
- Structuring combined solutions (debt + equity)
The goal is a healthy, flexible, and long-term capital structure aligned with your company’s strategy.
We develop clear and flexible models that give you a comprehensive overview of your financials, scenarios, and strategic options. The models are built on a strategic analysis of your business, ensuring the numbers reflect reality and support your objectives.
All models are delivered in a transparent and user-friendly Excel setup, allowing you to easily work with and adapt them going forward.
We assist with:
- Investment and project evaluations
- Scenario analysis (best/base/worst case)
- Capital requirements and cash flow planning
- Assessment of acquisitions, divestments, and ownership changes
- Strategic growth and budgeting models
- Impact analysis related to pricing, margins, and costs
- Strategic analysis of markets, customers, cost structures, and potential
In short: you get a practical and easy-to-use model that supports better decision-making.
When acquiring companies or startups, there is a need for a focused and practical due diligence process without the complexity of large consulting firms and heavy reports.
We offer a targeted financial review that identifies key risks, assesses financial performance, and provides investors with a clear and realistic basis for decision-making.
Our review typically includes:
- Financial statements, key metrics, and reporting
- Liquidity, capital requirements, and profitability
- Budgets, forecasts, and underlying assumptions
- Financial risks and strengths
- Customer concentration, cost drivers, and contracts
Ideal for investors who need a solid and cost-effective overview.
Tax advisory is a key element in any M&A process. The right structure can significantly impact price, risk, and the final post-tax proceeds.
We advise on the optimal tax structure before, during, and after the transaction, conduct tax due diligence, and ensure that the deal is completed on a sound and tax-efficient basis for both buyer and seller.
As part of our tax due diligence, we perform a systematic review of your company’s tax and VAT matters in connection with transactions such as acquisitions, disposals, investments, mergers, or restructurings. The purpose is to identify risks, errors, missing filings, or tax-related issues that may have financial implications for either party.

Is your business ready for the next chapter?
Corporate Finance is rarely just about numbers. It is about direction, investments, ownership, structure, and the decisions that can significantly shape your company’s future.
That is why it can be valuable to discuss your considerations with an advisor before your plans are fully defined. Often, a single conversation is enough to create clarity around your options and the next steps.
