Corporate Finance
Company sales, company acquisitions, succession planning, and distressed M&A. Over 200 completed transactions for mid-sized companies, corporate groups, and private equity firms.
Complex transactions require experience, market knowledge, and a clear strategic focus. With over 200 completed transactions, SGP Corporate Finance ranks among the leading M&A and corporate finance advisors for German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and is one of the most active firms in distressed M&A—with particular expertise in restructuring, self-administration, and insolvency proceedings. We are the M&A unit of a group that evaluates, advises, restructures, and supports companies throughout these processes. This provides us with access to situations, decision-makers, and investors that a pure-play transaction boutique does not have—an advantage that translates into measurable benefits in terms of purchase price, deal certainty, and speed. Our clients include medium-sized companies, corporate groups, and industrial holding companies, as well as private equity investors, family offices, insolvency administrators, trustees, and other parties involved in proceedings. We manage transactions holistically—from strategic goal-setting, company valuation, and purchase price determination, through the identification and approach of suitable transaction partners, to the structuring and negotiation of key economic transaction parameters. Confidentially, on time, and with clear process management all the way through to signing and closing.
Service Area
Core Services
Successful transactions result from proper positioning, in-depth analysis, and professional process management. SGP Corporate Finance supports entrepreneurs, shareholders, corporate groups, private equity investors, family offices, and other stakeholders in company sales, acquisitions, succession planning, distressed M&A processes, and complex financing situations. We combine market knowledge, valuation expertise, and a structured M&A process with a robust network of investors and strategic partners. We have proven sector expertise in technology, software & IT services, business services, manufacturing, and consumer goods. This enables us to accurately assess market opportunities, target the right buyer and investor groups, and negotiate from a position of strength.
Company Sale
A successful business sale begins long before the actual process. We manage sell-side M&A processes for entrepreneurs, shareholders, and management; identify suitable buyer groups; oversee the transaction process; and negotiate the sale of companies, business units, or equity interests.
Company Acquisition
Strategic acquisitions open up new growth opportunities—but require a robust basis for decision-making. We manage buy-side M&A transactions for buyers, covering everything from identifying suitable targets and structuring the acquisition process to successfully executing transactions within confidential or competitive processes.
Distressed M&A and Special Situations
Companies facing crises or extraordinary circumstances require exceptional speed, experience, and a deep understanding of complex stakeholder structures. Our team is among the leading advisors in the field of corporate distressed M&A; we guide distressed M&A processes on both the buyer and seller sides and assist insolvency administrators, creditors, and other stakeholders in developing and implementing viable transaction solutions.
Debt Advisory
Securing the right financing is a critical success factor for growth, investment, and restructuring. We develop tailored financing strategies and support companies in structuring and implementing acquisition financing, growth financing, and refinancing, as well as complex capital and financing solutions.
Team
Our Corporate Finance Team
Every transaction is as unique as the people behind it. That is why we focus on personalized support, open communication, and a trusting partnership throughout the entire process. We support our clients personally and with a high degree of execution, from the initial idea for a transaction through to closing. In doing so, we combine the speed of a specialized corporate finance unit with the broad reach of an interdisciplinary advisory network. Our team combines many years of transaction experience and expertise with a shared goal: to guide entrepreneurs and shareholders safely through pivotal decisions. With strategic insight, personal commitment, and a clear understanding of economic relationships, we develop sustainable transaction solutions—from the initial idea to successful execution.
