Acquisition Finance

We have a clear and in-depth understanding of the successful life cycle of a business and know that, from a certain point onwards, the founder's exit may be just what a company needs to secure its growth and achieve a greater degree of sophistication. We are skilled at guiding our clients, including international banks and investors, through the complex legal process required for the successful completion of a funded acquisition.

The M&A market is predicted to grow rapidly and exits from several highly successful local and regional businesses are expected. At the opposite end of the market, the number of start-ups in Romania is also growing rapidly, and several business accelerators have many of these new start-ups in their sights for investment followed by high-profit margin exits.
