Raising capital entails a partial transfer of ownership, so we carry out many of the tasks that are part of the sale process on behalf of the existing owner. At the same time, some potential investors are specifically looking for target companies in which they can raise capital not only to acquire an equity stake, but also to gain a valuable ownership partnership.
From this perspective, the focus is on the steps of a takeover. Whether you are raising capital on behalf of an existing owner or an investor, this is a very exciting area of our services:
- When raising capital, the owner does not exit the company, but the ownership structure expands and a new ownership community is created. For all parties, it is crucial to find a partner whom they can trust, with whom they can imagine a future together, whom they can support in times of need and with whom they are happy to share the fruits of the relationship.
We effectively identify our partners' requirements, explore the potential synergies in different investor relationships and help you choose the right partner.
In some cases, relationships based on complete trust are established before capital is raised. However, we are cautious, we believe it is advisable for the partners to get to know each other better and for trust to be gradually built up between them, and to be realised in the form of a syndicate contract. It is not possible to regulate the cooperation between the parties in all areas, but it is possible to agree in advance on essential corporate governance issues and ownership behaviour.
