FOR INVESTORS
Our services for investors focus on the core business of "corporate investments" and "pure financial investments". The difference between the two areas is the duration of the investment. Corporate investments are aimed at a long-term investment, whereas financial investments are aimed at a medium to short-term commitment with a fixed interest rate and repayment on a set date.
Regardless of the type of investment, the cooperation always begins with a mutual introduction between investor and company. Although we can offer an active search for investment projects for our investors or we suggest projects which are already known from existing business customers. In this way, we ensure a regular and rapid inflow of interesting investment options and bring investors and entrepreneurs together in a pre-selected manner.

CORPORATE PARTICIPATIONS
As already mentioned above, corporate participations are long-term investments with no defined end. The profit is usually not generated through interest payments, but through the share of the corporate earnings and the following profit distributions. As a shareholder of the company, you will always have influence on all of the company's important decisions. This can be exerted directly in shareholders' meetings or through one or more seats on the supervisory board.

FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS
On the other hand, pure financial investments, such as those made by private equity or venture capital investors, have a fixed end, which is defined by a date or by the achievement of a goal. After that, the investment capital must be repaid by the company. The profit is usually generated through interests. Here also, shares of the company can be transferred as collateral for the duration of the term, which gives the investor influence over the company's decisions during this time.
INVESTMENT SELECTION
In accordance with your specifications and criteria, we actively search for possible companies for your investment throughout Europe. We are also happy to introduce possible investment projects from our existing portfolio to you. This applies to both: corporate participation and pure financial investments.
In this way, we are constantly presenting you with new, interesting opportunities for placing your capital. If you agree with a candidate, we take the next step and inform the potential capital recipient about your plans or your general willingness to invest.
If the company also agrees to your terms and conditions, which we will of course also clarify in advance, we prepare the further measures.
PRE DUE-DILIGENCE
First, we prepare a due diligence analysis of the potential investment candidate. In addition to an initial business analysis, this also includes all the other necessary factors to be able to assess the company.
If you are still interested in an investment, we will now establish the first contact between you and the company. If you wish, you can also remain anonymous during the process. The investors then usually prepare their own evaluation again in order to be able to make a final assessment of the investment project.
If there is still agreement and interest from both sides, we begin preparing the negotiations.
NEGOTIATION MANAGEMENT
When preparing for negotiations, we support you with our expertise regarding the customs and mentality in the capital recipient's market. The negotiation points, the negotiation goals and the bargaining zone for negotiation are determined.
The location of the negotiations is then determined and everything necessary for conducting the negotiations is organized here. If you wish, we will also be happy to put our partner lawyer at your disposal to draft the contracts. The negotiations are always done individually for each investment project.
The aim here is to reach an agreement and sign a contract. It is usual for several negotiation dates to take place.
AFTER INVESTMENT
Even after the investment has been made, whether as a corporate participation or as a financial investment, we are happy to continue to advise you or actively support you. With our management expertise, we represent you on the supervisory board of the capital recipient and thus represent your rights and concerns. In addition, our controlling and analysis specialists can monitor the use and success of your investment.
This way, you always keep an overview and can immediately exert your influence if necessary. This gives you maximum protection for your invested capital and ensures that nothing happens without your knowledge or consent.

SUPERVISORY BOARD
If we fill your seat on the supervisory board for you and thus exercise your rights, we will of course act exclusively in your interests and in accordance with your instructions. Certainly, you can also fill this seat yourself at any time. However, by appointing us as representative in case of smaller matters you will save a lot of time and, if necessary, travel effort. With us as your partner, you always retain full control over your investment capital.

ANALYSIS AND CONTROLLING
The basis for directly influencing the capital acquirer’s business activities is a constant analysis of the company figures and developments. This is achieved through the external use of our controlling specialists. Because of that you will receive unbiased assessments and reports and can make your further decisions based on objective findings. This procedure also ensures that the capital is used in your interests always.
