Before PartnersM&A Boutique · Corporate Finance · Transaction Services

Partner to your capital transactions

A one-off transaction, several transactions a year, or an independent due diligence: a dedicated line for each situation. And when transactions follow one another, each one feeds the next — your institutional memory builds up.

Three lines, one standard

What's your situation?

A one-off transaction

Before Advisory

Planning a sale, ownership transfer, fundraising, acquisition or financing? We advise you on a mandate basis, from valuation to closing — at your side, in your interest alone.

Several transactions a year

Before Leadership

A steady pace of transactions, and an M&A capability to call on? We become your outsourced M&A direction: we prepare the ground between your transactions and steer them when the time comes, alongside your executive management.

An independent due diligence

Before Diligence

An investor, or already supported by an advisor? We run the due diligence — buy-side or sell-side — as a strictly independent trusted third party.
