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 in their development 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
Most entrepreneurs cannot define an economic value to their companies. Amongst others, reasons are the lack of expertise in standardized valuation methods as well as market intransparency of privately traded companies. Backed by our expertise, we perform various valuation methodologies such as the discounted cash flow method as well as comparable companies analysis (CCA)/ comparable transactions analysis (CTA) which have been established themselves as market standard in global M&A practice.
Exit Readiness
The success of an M&A transaction is highly dependent on the underlying preparation. ox8 always recommends to start 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. This phase determines on a successful transaction as well as the actual company valuation
