Our Deal Support is there for you with
consulting, guidance and planning.
Are you planning to sell your company, expand through acquisition, change your own offerings through capital procurement, position yourself on the market in the first place – or are you in the middle of a process and something just doesn’t feel right? Like it should go smoother or faster, or just be less complicated?
With Dr. Bartels M&A Consulting you have access to a wide portfolio of services, and always enjoy individual consulting. We examine your situation and working from our long experience we develop tailored solutions for you, in a collaborative process marked by openness, honesty and a commitment to mutuality. Whatever the deal is (for which we will naturally assist in the negotiations), with us you’re well advised in all matters on the path to the signing.
Together with you we develop sale and acquisition goals that fit your personal and professional plans. We identify central sale aspects, define price ranges and coordinate on all the major parameters, including detailed scheduling.
The greatest possible internal transparency is an important basis for your business decisions. So we help you review your existing financial model, develop a new one if that meets your needs better, or adapt the existing one.
We assist you in all questions around the valuation of a company up for sale or purchase and make our own transparent and robust valuations.
We handle the preparation of your offer and evaluate offers made to you, using standard market methods and with a view to the current capital market conditions. Naturally we take into account elements like guarantees and purchase price structures.
We prepare your sale (for example) comprehensively, which can require restructuring and carve-outs. In doing so, like with all other types of transactions, we work with our own tax and legal experts or use proven contacts from our network.
Working with the attorneys you trust we draw up your contract. We work on an agreed guarantee catalogue for buyer and seller and define mechanisms for pricing (locked-box or completion method) and purchase price components (e.g. earn-out rules).
During a confidential initial conversation, we can together identify the aspects of your company where change brings the most benefit.
We look forward to getting to know you!
