Financial Planning & Data Modelling

In Financial Planning we focus on the value drivers of your business models. We create comprehensive bases for decision-making through individual simulations.

Valuations

The Valuation provides you with an objective basis for your decisions. We take into account your value drivers such as the life cycle, synergies and further development of business processes.

Pricing Mechanisms

Our job is to turn complex pricing discussions into understandable Pricing Mechanisms and to support these with a reliable and comprehensible representation of these pricing mechanisms in your commercial contracts.

Transaction Services

Our Transaction Services include, among other things, the following services: due diligence, valuation and the structuring of transactions. On request, we can contribute to the M&A transaction process with a more comprehensive approach.

Second / Fairness Opinion

As an independent Corporate Finance boutique we offer objective Second Opinions and Fairness Opinions for questions relating to the valuation of companies and projects and when determining the weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

Sparring Partner

You will find that we work off an equal footing as your discussion partner in the analyses of complex problems and development of feasible solutions. Together, we can develop reliable bases for decision-making.

Financial Planning & Data Modelling

To ensure the successful financial planning of any venture, it is essential that you conduct a thorough analysis of the value drivers in the company. Working off the basis of a simulation, we analyse the impact of changes to the value drivers such as price/quantity structure, investments, or the cost of capital on the Cash Flow or the Profit of a company. We use this information to generate possible future scenarios. These provide the basis for sustainable Financial Planning and Data Modelling. We maintain a clear focus on materiality and consistency.

We extract the essential influential factors from complex problems and use these as the basis for a transparent decision-making process. This results in comprehensible bases for decision-making that work off flexible and transparent models for your Financial Planning and Data Modelling.

Valuations

We evaluate companies, business units, projects or intangible assets on an individual basis whilst considering various influential factors. The life cycle (e.g. start-up or established companies) and purpose of the valuation (e.g. to continue with the venture or to fold) determine which valuation method is used.

Our valuations form a rational basis for decision-making that can be used for various purposes such as the purchase or sale of companies or projects, and for financing issues.

Valuations are always based on assumptions. These assumptions refer to the current developments in the market and sound experience. We present our evaluations in a transparent and comprehensible manner.

Are you looking for a partner who can provide objective valuations as a basis for financial decision-making and refocusing of policies? You will benefit from our in-depth experience and expertise. Contact us. We will gladly provide you with more in-depth information on the subject of valuations.

Pricing Mechanisms

Our job is to turn complex price discussions into understandable, sustainable and resilient Pricing Mechanisms. These form the core of your commercial contracts. A key factor in this process is to optimise the financial risks in contract management.

A well thought-out, transparent pricing mechanism is essential in particular for long-term contracts. Developments in the market that are difficult to predict and changing framework conditions must be considered in the planning process. Poor pricing mechanisms can result in unwanted or unacceptable financial burdens in the future.

Are you looking for a partner that will scrutinise and optimise your pricing mechanisms with a critical eye, and provide you with support as you incorporate these pricing mechanisms in your commercial contracts? Contact us about pricing mechanisms.

Transaction Services

We support you in your transactions as a buyer or a seller, on either an individual or a comprehensive basis, as requested. Financial and Commercial Due Diligence, Valuations and assistance in Deal Structuring are all included in our Transaction Services.

First of all we analyse the financial (and other) information available and prepare a report on the risks and opportunities. We draw up transparent and comprehensible documentation on the influence of our findings on the valuation of the object of the transaction. Our pragmatic approach allows you to integrate the results into the Deal Structuring and transaction negotiations. Experience has shown that potential deal breakers can be identified early on this way. This means we can work out suitable proposals for solutions in cooperation with our network partners.

Do you need assistance with transactions and acquisitions? We will advise you on either an individual or a comprehensive basis according to your needs. Contact us, we will gladly provide you with more detailed information on our Transaction Services.

Second Opinion / Fairness Opinion

Second Opinions and Fairness Opinions form an important basis for decision-making with any kind of valuation issues. As an independent Corporate Finance boutique, we have been asked to evaluate corporate values, investment funds, derivatives and the cost of capital. We work off the basis of scientifically recognised principles and our own measures of value, which we consistently adhere to.

Do you need an objective second opinion or an expert opinion for your valuations? We will provide you with competent and independent support.

Sparring Partner for Complex Issues

Corporate Finance is characterised by complex issues in the areas of financial and corporate planning, price modelling, financing and valuation. Internal business discussions that include an external and unbiased view lead to a more in-depth understanding of complex problems. This promotes the identification and development of creative and practical solutions. Together, we can create a sound and resilient basis for decision-making.

Are you looking for a Sparring Partner who will give you their perspective on financial matters and actively support you in the development of solutions? Contact us, we will step in the ring with you.
