What is M&A Support?

 

M&A support covers the financial, structural, and strategic aspects of mergers, acquisitions, and company transfers.

PrestaFlex supports entrepreneurs, shareholders, and management teams during buy-side, sell-side, and succession transactions, ensuring optimal financing and transaction execution.

Flexible and Non-Dilutive Structures

Well-structured M&A transactions can increase a company’s valuation by up to 20% - when backed by proper financial modelling and strategic negotiation. Financing from CHF 1M to CHF 60M+, structured and secured in as little as 6–12 weeks, with governance terms aligned to your strategic objectives.

M&A support is relevant when:
 

  • acquiring a competitor or complementary business
  • selling part or all of a company
  • planning succession or management buy-outs (MBO)
  • consolidating activities within a group
  • restructuring ownership

Acquisition of a Competitor to Accelerate Market Consolidation

A Swiss-based SME operating in the industrial services sector identified a strategic opportunity to acquire a long-standing competitor.
The acquisition would enable market consolidation, operational synergies, geographic expansion, and cost optimisation, but required careful financial structuring and transaction support.

Although the target company was profitable, the transaction involved complex valuation, acquisition financing, and ownership structuring challenges that went beyond a standard bank-led process.
