Service Overview
Corporate acquisitions and sales are critical milestones for company owners and management. Thorough and professional preparation and execution are crucial for success.
We provide individually tailored advice to our customers on this path and draw on our many years of experience in a wide variety of situations and sectors.
We see ourselves as the responsible project manager who coordinates the entire range of project tasks for our customer and, for the most part, handles them ourselves. As the client’s partner, we advise and support the client throughout the entire process and are committed to the success of the project.
Our services range from the strategic analysis of our customers and their markets, to the development and discussion of options for action, to detailed process planning and responsible project implementation. We provide support until the successful completion of the respective transaction.
CORPORATE ACQUISITIONS
We accompany the acquisition of a company from the analysis of the market and possible acquisition candidates to the successful completion of the acquisition.
The extent to which individual components are weighted more or less strongly depends on the individual case. In some cases, the ideal target company has already been identified; in others, it must first be determined on the basis of the agreed search criteria. None of this changes the goal of optimally preparing our clients for a company acquisition and completing the acquisition process professionally and successfully.
The individual milestones of such a transaction usually include:
1
Analysis of your company, the market and your competitors
2
Derivation of strategic recommendations for action
3
Identification of and contact with potential acquisition candidates
4
Structuring of confidential discussions
5
Company valuation of the target company
6
Preparation and agreement of a non-binding indicative offer
7
Due diligence of the acquisition candidate
8
Coordination of negotiations until the closing of the contract
CORPORATE DISPOSALS
We advise our clients on the sale of their business from concept to closing.
One of our central tasks is to create a competitive situation between different interested parties or at least to keep alternatives open. As a rule, we talk to potential interested parties worldwide. The aim is to optimize the terms of the sale – including not only the purchase price but also other contractual terms – for our client.
The key project steps include:
1
Analysis of the company to be sold as well as the market
2
Development of strategic recommendations for action
3
Identification and discussion of possible investors
4
Revision/update of the business plan if required
5
Preparation of a detailed company valuation
6
Preparation of company documentation (“information memorandum”)
7
Approaching potential investors and obtaining indicative offers
8
Organization and support of the due diligence process
9
Coordination of negotiations until conclusion of contract
CAPITAL RAISING
We support our clients in raising capital with a focus on equity and mezzanine capital.
We are in ongoing contact with many investors who provide growth financing to growing companies with established business models. In particular, mezzanine capital, which is usually counted as economic equity but does not lead to the dilution of existing shareholders, can be an interesting financing component.
Landpoint Corporate Finance does not enter into any financial commitments itself and concentrates on the optimal selection of external investors. In doing so, we are independent and free of conflicts of interest, committed only to the client’s interest.
The key project steps include:
1
Analysis of the company and the existing financing structure
2
Presentation of possible investors
3
Preparation of company documentation
4
Approaching potential investors
5
Preparation and negotiation of term sheets
6
Active support of the due diligence
7
Consulting in the selection of the optimal financing option
