PERFORMANCE FOR OUR CLIENTS
Our Focus And Areas Of Expertise
Drawing on a high level of experience and deep expertise, ox8 Corporate Finance combines data-driven, analytical precision with a strategic and holistic M&A approach to deliver insightful, value-oriented solutions tailored to the complex needs of our clients.
Mergers & Acquisitions
We provide you with comprehensive and goal-oriented advice regarding the professional preparation, structuring and negotiation of a transaction up to the successful closing with the most suitable partner. A key element in this process is our global network of potential strategic buyers and financial investors. In addition to the sale of companies or parts of companies (sell-side), we also act as advisor to the buyer side, i.e. for private equity investors and strategic buyers (buy-side).
Growth Capital
Many companies face a situation on their journey at which additional financial resources are needed to perfectly exploit existing growth potential. Together, we analyze capital requirements, define use of proceeds, and develop a concept for raising capital in the form of equity or equity-like instruments. For this purpose, we can draw on a broad global network of institutional investors and family offices, which we have built up in the past 25 years.
Company Valuation
In certain situations, it is required or helpful for entrepreneurs to obtain an independent and professional valuation analysis for their company. Based on our expertise, we use various suitable valuation methodologies such as the discounted cash flow method (DCF) as well as comparable companies analysis (CCA)/ comparable transactions analysis (CTA) in order to perform solid company valuations for private companies in all relevant industry sectors.
Exit Readiness
The success of an M&A transaction is highly dependent on the underlying preparation. ox8 always recommends starting the preparation phase, the so-called exit readiness analysis, early and with high diligence. The investment story, operational data analysis, identification of market drivers, buyers’ appetite and especially timing of the process are integral parts. In several cases we came into play as a sparrings partner to entrepreneurs years before the actual M&A transaction took place.
