Growth Strategies
With increasing globalization, the competitive environment has changed profoundly. Existing corporate structures or scales are not necessarily ideally suited to cope with new challenges of increasing global competition. In today's globally connected capital markets, mere organic growth is often not effective as sole strategy.
The complementary avenue to build a strong competitive position will be achieved through inorganic growth. As an example, the company's product lines can be enhanced by diversification, and realizing economies of scale through a broader positioning in the market can generate more attractive margins.
Whichever strategy you decide to pursue, we will find the best suited partner for you to develop new markets and geographies, spread the risk or optimise value and supply chains.
Technology Acquisition and Knowledge
Is it effective and efficient to develop a new technology in-house? Or is there a player in the market who already manufactures or distributes the innovative product in the desired quality? In this case the option presents itself of acquiring the targeted technological competence directly via an asset deal or by purchasing shares of the company (share deal).
The same logic applies to expert knowledge. Recruiting highly specialized employees to enable the company's future development is often difficult and fraught with risk. By taking over a tech company, entrepreneurs can directly access the necessary expertise. We support you in acquiring the resources required for your next growth step via a structured process.
Buy & Build
Which industries are subject to particular consolidation pressure? And which kinds of companies can achieve positive economies of scale, value enhancements and higher profitability through a combination? We support you in identifying and acquiring complementary companies and, if desired, in structuring the appropriate transaction financing via leveraged buy-out.
To support you in taking the best investment decision, we accompany you from the strategic concept phase all the way to the closing of the transaction, bringing to bear our knowledge which has been accumulated over many years in a range of industries and geographies. Especially in rapidly evolving global markets, the right timing, short response times and flexible process leadership can provide you with the essential competitive advantage.
Since every acquisition of an owner-run company may be associated with changes to the organization and internal processes, our partnership-based approach to the negotiation process sets the stage for optimal cooperation between the investor and the former shareholder during the subsequent post-merger integration process. This is especially crucial in the event of the founder remaining active in the company after the transaction.
Our Promise
One thing is certain: With Taurus you avoid uncertainties during the acquisition process.
Market Insight
Germany is our home market - and Taurus Advisory is rooted in the sector of medium-sized companies. We dispose of unique market knowledge and a well-maintained network of entrepreneurs from the sector as well as national and international financial investors, with deep knowledge of their investment focus. This enables us to effectively identify attractive target companies and to establish confidential contacts with shareholders.
Our deep roots in the medium-sized sector enable us to address the target companies individually, with highest professional standards, thus creating relationships of trust and partnerships with potential parties, thereby increasing your chances of a successful acquisition.
Farsightedness
We perform a detailed evaluation of the target company for you during the acquisition process. In addition to the financial situation of the company, our assessment also comprises the future prospects of the products or services as well as the market environment and the competitive position of the company.
Based on many years of transaction and industry experience, supported by extensive database usage, we are spotting trends at an early stage and incorporate all relevant information into the assessments. In this way we support you in making sound investment decisions while providing important clues and key points for valuation negotiations.
Funding Network
To ensure the success of your investment project, we also support you in implementing an individually adapted solution to the funding needs. We are drawing on our network of funding institutions active in the transaction business, which has grown over many years. Be it a management buy-out or acquisition financing in the form of a leveraged buyout, Taurus Advisory‘s financing concepts comprise the entire range of possible debt instruments for your next growth phase.
