My Services
Consulting for Equity
A service for companies not fulfilling their full potential. This process implements growth strategies resulting in a significant increase in shareholder value. Owners have the option to buy back shares once the agreed objectives are achieved.
Virtual Mergers
A strategy that brings together a group of companies to multiply their value. This process combines companies under one umbrella without having to change anything except for the corporate structure.
Business Acquisition
The acquisition of established companies that are either trading profitably or in need of a turnaround situation. This works for owners who are ready to retire from the business, or because their situation has become unmanageable.
Challenges for SMEs
Low Demand
SMEs are usually too small to attract interest from private equity firms.
Unfit For Sale
Many owners run their personal expenses through their business and don’t have key staff activity documented properly etc. This makes it very difficult to sell the business.
Competitors
The most obvious buyers for these businesses are their competitors. However, a lot of these business owners do not want to sell to their competitors. There is a risk that the new owner might asset-strip your life’s work and fire all the staff. Selling to a competitor you’ve known for decades often feels humiliating, like you’re admitting defeat.
