Sell-Side M&A Advisory
We advise you through the full sell-side process, starting with scope and transaction structure definition to delivering an independent valuation and preparing investment materials. We remain involved through due diligence, SPA negotiation, until succesful closing.
When selling a business, certainty of closing often matters as much as price. Both are shaped early, through valuation, transaction structure, and the way the process is prepared before buyers are approached.
Who this is for
Founders and owner-managers looking for a full or partial exit
Families and shareholders with succession decisions to make
Management teams exploring strategic options, including partial recapitalizations
PE-backed companies approaching the end of a holding period
When to engage
Ideally 6-12 months before you intend to close. Early engagement allows us to address any preparation gaps, financial reporting quality, operational dependencies, structuring decisions, before the process begins, which directly affects price and deal certainty.
Typical timeline
Min. of 6-12 months from process launch to closing, assuming no structural, operational or financial adjustments are necessary. Investment materials and the list of potential buyers and investors is to be prepared during the first 6-8 weeks.
Buy-Side M&A Advisory
We advise buyers across the full acquisition process, from defining investment criteria and building a target list, through valuation to full due diligence execution, SPA structuring, and closing.
We know that what holds up after closing is often determined much earlier. For this reason, our involvement may begin early, supporting target identification, transaction structuring, and due diligence, while these elements are still informing the direction of the deal.
Who this is for
Strategic investors acquiring platform business in Hungary or Romania
Serial acquirers running buy-and-build strategies who need local execution depth
International buyers who need local market coverage and on-the-ground diligence
PE firms and corporate acquirers entering Romania or Hungary
When to engage
Ideally 3 to 6 months before you expect to approach your first target. Earlier engagement allows us to run a proper market mapping process and build a qualified target pipeline, rather than reacting to inbound deal flow.
Typical timeline
Min. of 6-12 months from criteria definition to closing, depending on market complexity, diligence scope, and deal structure.
Case studies
Capital & Debt Advisory
We advise companies on financing transactions from financial modelling and materials preparation, through lender identification and negotiation, to drawdown. By the time lender discussions begin, much of the outcome is already taking shape.
The quality of the financial case, the way risk is presented, and the fit between the transaction and the institutions approached all influence the terms available to the company. We prepare those inputs before lenders are approached, so the financial case is ready, risk is clearly framed, and discussions begin with the right financing partners.
Who this is for
Founders and CFOs raising debt for an acquisition or cross-border expansion in Romania or Hungary
Companies refinancing existing facilities or restructuring obligations under the current structure
Businesses planning a greenfield investment who need a financial case before approaching lenders
When to engage
As early as possible before you intend to approach lenders. The financial model and lender materials need to be complete before the first conversation begins.
Typical timeline
2 to 4 months from engagement to drawdown, approximately 4 weeks for modeling and materials, 4 to 8 weeks for lender negotiation.
Companies we worked with to achieve the right transaction
Corporate Finance
Not every strategic decision requires a full M&A process, but many still require the same level of financial scrutiny.
We provide valuation, financial due diligence, and business planning for owners, shareholders, management teams, and boards who need an independent financial basis for investment decisions, negotiations, restructuring, or strategic planning.
Who this is for
Shareholders evaluating an acquisition without a full M&A process
Boards and management teams making capital allocation or restructuring decisions
Founders requiring an independent valuation ahead of a shareholder transaction or dispute
Buyers requiring standalone financial DD
When to engage
As early as possible once a specific decision or transaction is in view, ideally before any numbers have been shared or discussed with the other party.
Typical timeline
1 to 1.5 months per engagement, depending on scope and data availability.
Business Development
Local market knowledge often determines whether an expansion opportunity holds up in practice.
For companies planning entry into Hungary or Romania, or evaluating whether a local business has viable expansion potential, we provide market assessment, opportunity identification, and commercial due diligence before capital is committed.
Who this is for
International companies evaluating entry into Romania or Hungary
Hungarian or Romanian businesses assessing whether their model is viable in a new market
Active acquirers wanting a grounded view of a sector before committing to a formal process
When to engage
Before committing to a market entry decision or initiating a formal acquisition process.
Typical timeline
Approximately 4 weeks for a focused market assessment.
