Assessment of expected synergy effects

We identify and evaluate synergies to facilitate the identification of business and financial results after a takeover or merger.

The reasons for acquisitions are mostly classic sales and production synergies and savings. Prior to a transaction, it is therefore crucial to identify and evaluate the right synergies so that you know how efficiently you can operate after the acquisition or merger. Such an effect can be illustrated by the equation 1 + 1 = 3.

Preparing the Company for financing

Adequate sources of funding are important for any company. When we talk about debt financing, which is usually the cheapest, companies turn to banks. Whether it is financing new investments or working capital and providing current liquidity, we can offer you professional assistance.

In our company, we prepare the documentation necessary for the approval of the loan and negotiate the most favorable financing conditions on your behalf with the bank. As a result, we save you the time and nerves you would waste on all the bureaucracy and bank meetings. Thus, in addition to the basic role, we advise you and prepare the conceptual financial construction and all the necessary financial projections according to the project or business you want to finance.

We assess the economic justification of the investment, determine the optimal financial structure, set up and monitor key performance indicators – KPIs and other necessary parameters.

With the prepared investment plan, you will be convinced of the correctness of the investment decision and at the same time it will be easier to convince financiers and other stakeholders about the feasibility of the goals.

Independent business review

With an independent thorough review, we show the investor or financier a very accurate picture of the state, operations and environment of the company, which is reflected in the final assessment of the value of the company and good negotiating positions.

A careful review protects the investor from future potential negative impacts, as the investment does not occur due to the past operations of the target company, but due to future expectations and plans. The independent review covers financial, tax, legal and technical risks.

In the report on thorough review, we highlight the findings regarding the situation and the company’s operations. We draw attention to potential problems and risks associated with the target company and its environment and present the company’s strengths and opportunities.

Business and financial monitoring

With independent financial control – monitoring, business is more reliable, as it reduces the likelihood of business and financial problems and significantly speeds up decision-making.

At the same time, you always have a detailed overview of the company’s profitability and liquidity in this way.

The end result of business monitoring will be an increase in financial strength and thus an increase in the value of the company.

Succession planning

Family succession or transfer of a business means a series of activities carried out by an entrepreneur in order to successfully plan and carry out the transfer of ownership to a family heir, child or other relative.

As a coordinator, we help the founders and successors through key questions: Who will be the successor? When and will the chosen successor be qualified to take over the company? How to plan the time until the moment of exit? How to arrange management and ownership? How to arrange inheritance when there are several children in the family? How much is the company worth and how to regulate the financial relationship between the transferor and the successor?

In collaboration with the transferor and successor, our team of financial, legal advisers and psycho-dynamics prepares a comprehensive family succession plan (which may also include a family constitution) and helps you implement it.

Financial and tax aspects of succession

As a rule, the company has a value at the time of the transfer, which can be passed on to the successor for a fee or free of charge. Or the transfer happens as a combination of both.

Irrespective of the financial form of the transfer, it is necessary to correctly anticipate financial and tax impacts and to regulate legal and tax notifications in accordance with the law.

Based on the analysis of the financial goals of the transferor and the successor, we form the results on the basis of which we propose the optimal combination of implementation from the financial and tax point of view.

Legal aspect of family inheritance

From a legal point of view, economic succession and family law issues are complexly intertwined in family succession (inheritance, relations between siblings, relations between spouses, etc.)

By timely analysis of the situation, we define the necessary status transformations (independent company – limited liability company), relations with third partners and relations with other family participants in accordance with the goals of succession.

Counseling in insolvency proceedings

Excessive indebtedness of the company is an obstacle, both for further business and strategic plans, as well as for regular operations. As a result, the further development of the business and the existence of the company are endangered.

In the case of highly indebted companies, it is essential to optimize the financial structure of resources and thus ensure a sustainable level of debt. It is necessary to ventilate assets in relation to liabilities and weigh the benefits of disinvestment.

Based on the performed analyzes and financial modeling, we form the results on the basis of which we jointly decide on appropriate measures and effective implementation.

We prepare the strategy and financial model of deleveraging and the entire business restructuring program. We work with you and support you throughout the restructuring process.
