Bergweiss connects businesses with the capital, partners and expertise needed for acquisitions and growth. We combine speed, financial expertise and a broad international network to navigate complex transactions and shape financing around the business, its owners and its next stage.
Mergers & acquisitions advisory
Sell-side advisory
We begin by agreeing what the sale should achieve: liquidity, a continuing stake, a change in responsibility or a partner for growth. We use those priorities to identify suitable buyers and compare offers on a consistent basis.
Strategic acquisitions
We translate your acquisition strategy into clear target criteria. We assess market access, product fit, customer exposure, management continuity and integration capacity before approaching potential targets.
Management buyouts
We assess whether the business can support the proposed ownership transfer and its financing. Our analysis brings together the purchase price, management investment and future cash needs, with clear responsibilities for the parties and their advisers.
Growth capital
We link the funding requirement to planned investment, operating milestones and working capital. We compare financing and investor terms alongside valuation, including the consequences of slower growth.
Cross-border M&A
We coordinate the transaction across markets, taking account of local reporting practices, decision-making and specialist requirements. Comparable information and clear responsibilities give negotiations a reliable foundation.
Succession planning
We help owners distinguish between leadership succession, ownership transfer and personal liquidity needs. We compare family succession, management ownership and external capital, then identify the preparation each option requires.
Carve-outs
We define the proposed transaction perimeter and assess dependencies on the parent group. We clarify standalone earnings, separation costs and the temporary services needed to maintain operations through the transition.
Capital structure
We assess funding against the needs of the business after completion: investment, seasonal liquidity, repayment obligations and resilience if trading weakens. Our comparison covers the full financing terms and their effect on ownership and flexibility.
Transaction readiness
We identify the questions a buyer or investor is likely to raise and turn them into a prioritised preparation plan. We review the evidence behind performance, the reliability of reporting and dependencies that may affect a transaction.
Strategic alternatives
We compare continued ownership, investment, partnership and a transaction against the same objectives. We help owners decide which options to develop, which to defer and when changing circumstances call for a fresh assessment.
