Fueled by historically low interest rates, acquisitions have played an increasingly prominent role in corporate growth strategies in recent years, a trend that is likely to continue in the future. Many companies view M&A as a viable mechanism to more quickly achieve several objectives - to grow their product line, enter new markets, or access new technologies in order to fuel long-term corporate growth. Done well, it has proven to be a very effective strategy.
Nonetheless, executing a value-creating M&A strategy is far from easy. DOLDER Corporate Finance knows the challenges and stumbling blocks with acquisitions and supports its clients in becoming a successful acquirer. We are actively managing and supporting the whole acquisition process.
Finding a partner for a company is a labour-intense and challenging project. We take over this work so that the management can focus on the day-to-day business. Together we are a successful team.
Corporate transactions have their own rules. Most entrepreneurs sell their company only once in their lifetime. Prospective buyers, on the other hand, have already acquired multiple companies and have much more experience than the owners. As specialists at your side, DOLDER Corporate Finance levels this imbalance and strengthens your negotiating position. We look for and negotiate the best solution for you, your company and your employees. We take care of your business as if it was our own!
The success of a divestment, carve-out of a business unit, merger, IPO, or capital increase strongly depends on early and thorough preparation.
It supports the owners and management team in:
As project managers we leverage our knowledge in strategy, operations, financials, and general management.
We take over the responsibility of planning and executing a project, regardless of the industry. We are first point of contact for any issues or discrepancies arising from within the project teams. We shape the project progress, mutual interaction and tasks of various parties in a way that reduces the risk of delay, maximizes benefits, and minimizes costs.
Embedded into the client’s organization, we have the ability to adapt to their various internal procedures and to form close links with the staff, which is essential in ensuring that the key issues of cost, time, quality and above all, client satisfaction, can be realized.
There are several different business situations in which an interim manager is needed: crisis management, sudden departure, illness, managing change, transformation, MBOs and IPOs, mergers & acquisitions, and project management.
As interim managers we temporarily provide resources and skills to manage such situations.
We can start our work within days, which is essential when time constraints are paramount. Being practiced in engaging promptly with the situation, we become effective quickly upon joining a client’s organisation.
Unencumbered by company politics or culture, we provide a fresh perspective and focus on what's best for the client.
In close cooperation with the management of the company, we provide meaningful and pragmatic reports, which cover the strategic, operational and financial areas of a company.
Our analyses provide a fast, professional and independent view of the current financial situation, a critical assessment of the future situation of assets, liabilities and profitability, as well as a view on the value of a company.
Furthermore, our analyses reveal areas to the management that need special attention. We draw up a list of concrete measures including their qualitative and quantitative impact.
Our evaluations provide the necessary transparency for further decision-making, enable sound risk assessment, and provide the framework for action alternatives to all stakeholders.
The result is a strengthened strategic direction, fit trimmed operations, improved results and a long-term sustainable financial basis.
A company can slip into an earnings or liquidity crisis for a variety of reasons. As a result, lenders may reduce credit lines and shareholders may be reluctant to inject further capital into the company.
Our task is to actively guide the company and its management through this challenging and risky phase and to get the company back on a sustainable basis. In doing so, we pursue the following main objectives:
Our corporate development service supports planning and executing strategies to meet organizational objectives. Our activities include analysing markets and trends, elaborating growth strategies, repositionings, arranging strategic alliances, securing corporate financing, identifying and acquiring companies (M&A), and divesting assets and divisions.
A business plan is a strategic leadership tool. It serves startup founders as well as managements of established companies:
The creation of a business plan is not a one-time process. It is extremely important to regularly adapt the business plan to the changing market environment and to systematically incorporate newly acquired insights.
Post-merger integration (PMI) is a complex process of combining and rearranging businesses to materialize efficiencies and synergies that motivated the merger or the acquisition. PMI is a critical aspect of mergers; it involves combining the originally distinct cultures and systems of the merging organizations into a combined one.
We set up bespoke, integrated financial models and transform the business plan’s assumptions into financial figures. These results allow us to draw conclusions concerning the business plan and business model as well as the financing needs in the future (iterative process).
We elaborate corporate presentations, which are needed to attract financing partners. We know the current financing conditions and negotiate on eye-level with investors.
The business plan needs to be reflected in the financial plan
