Financial Advisory

 

M&A is at the core of Salamander’s Financial Advisory services. We focus on advising investors from High Growth Markets (China and rest of Asia) when it comes to:

-  Acquisitions of/equity joint ventures with companies in Europe

-  Participation via recapitalization of companies in European countries

-  Building up block of stocks in publicly traded companies in European countries

 

High market growth markets, higher valuations

For our clients from global High Growth Markets we secure access to the asset category of “Alternative Assets/Direct Investments/European countries”. We do so by convincing the sell side that investors advised by us bring “their” high market growth and volume to the negotiation table.

 

This allows for higher cash flow and earnings projections and higher valuations that can be shared via intelligent earnout models that we have developed in the past.

 

Successful Equity JVs, enhanced enterprise value, driven by new markets

We arrange for Equity JVs between investors from High Growth Markets and companies from Europe, both “inbound” and “outbound”. In specific cases we take a participation in such Joint Ventures. These Joint Ventures allow for access to technology for one side, access to markets and distribution for the other side and create value via growth. In specific cases we help to establish two way JVs.

 

Recapitalization creates new possibilities for growth, in some cases for turnaround

Our experience shows: Fresh capital from an investor from High Growth Markets can boost growth potential for many companies in the European countries; in specific cases it may allow the strategic and operational turnaround of the company.
