Case studies
Preparing the exit strategy for an industrial food & beverage SME
Minority shareholders wanted to sell their stake in an industrial SME that had successfully emerged from court-supervised restructuring. Facing a tight window, highly fragmented ownership, and specific market momentum, we defined the valuation, identified the ideal buyers, and structured the sale plan.
Safeguarding the technological value of a deep tech company in crisis
A European tech company in financial distress with a strategic patent to protect. Shareholders in disagreement and critical cash flow. We weighed the options, built the appropriate legal structure and sequenced the turnaround plan over 16 weeks.
Structuring the phased exit of a founder-CEO
An owner wanted to step back gradually from his company while eventually selling to an industrial buyer. Two objectives: unlocking liquidity now and maximising the price in three to five years. We structured the transaction in two stages, secured the tax treatment and opened discussions with the identified buyers.
Closing a first funding round for a SaaS start-up
A CEO consumed by his clients, with no time to prepare for a fundraise. Vague investor narrative, reactive timeline. We took over the deal structuring, choice of instrument, target selection, and roadshow management in collaboration with the specialist investment bank. Result: no loss in sales momentum and a successful raise.
Organising the exit of minority shareholders from an aerospace deeptech
Trust breakdown between founders and legacy investors while protecting an ongoing funding round. Intervened as a trusted third party for minority shareholders, the incoming lead investor, and the executive team to structure and negotiate an unplanned secondary sale. Result: an exit at ~1.3x in five weeks and governance restored on a sound footing.
Preparing the sale of a family-owned import-export SME
Owner-CEO of a family-owned SME (€20M revenue) in international timber trading. Mission focused on the early strategic phase: clarifying personal wealth objectives, building growth and succession options, identifying value levers, and monitoring critical KPIs prior to any capital transaction.
