Buy-side and sell-side mergers & acquisitions

Wintergerst is your competent M&A advisor for corporate transactions – both sell-side, as part of a succession plan, for example, or the sale of a distinct operation (carve-outs), but also on the buy-side when it comes to acquisitions. Regardless of whether you are searching for international investors (sell-side) or looking for potential acquisitions (buy-side) – our membership in international networks such as the International Corporate Finance Group (ICFG) provides us with strong partners in all relevant markets that also allow us to handle international M&A transactions.

Succession and future planning

Wintergerst acts as a confidential sparring partner when it comes to designing and implementing your plans for the future. Our focus is on finding the best possible future solution for you, your family, and your company. We provide you with a full suite of support services related to structuring, procuring capital and coordinating the strategic, tax and company-law issues associated with the (partial) succession of your company to the next generation and also provide these services to internal and external management.Business valuations are of crucial importance and not just in the context of strategic acquisitions and divestments. The question of the value of their own company also arises for entrepreneurs when it comes to company succession, the entry and exit of shareholders or financing. By offering professional valuations based on generally accepted valuation methods, Wintergerst helps you achieve the optimal value for your endeavor by avoiding any missteps in your assessments.
