Strategic advisory for market development, growth finance and extraordinary transactions. We work alongside founders and boards, from first analysis to signed agreement.
Many companies have a product ready for the world and no one to open the right door. We find the market, the capital and the people, and stay at the table until it’s signed.
Four areas, often in the same project: opening a market almost always means financing it and finding the right partners.
New countries, new channels, new customers. Market analysis, choosing the entry model (distributor, local partner or subsidiary), finding and negotiating with counterparties, first contracts.
Recent work in Latin America, East Africa, the Balkans and Eastern Europe.
We shape the funding need and bring it to the right counterparties: banks, investment firms, public export-support schemes, minibonds, grants and subsidised finance, guarantee programmes. Business plans, forecasting and budgets.
Regulated activities are carried out by licensed intermediaries and professionals, whom we coordinate.
Acquisitions and disposals of companies and brands, new ventures, integrations, turnarounds. From the confidential teaser to signing, working with legal and tax advisers.
Formats, brand extensions, new product lines and launches. Business model, positioning, go-to-market and industrial partners.
From Milan to markets growing faster than ours.
Areas of recent projects. Clients are never named.
An advisory role, with no executive mandate. Decisions stay with the company.
Two weeks to understand where the company can grow and what it really needs. The output is a document with priorities, numbers and the counterparties to meet.
Goals, timing, budget and who does what. We agree on what to measure and when to stop and check.
We open doors, prepare the materials and sit at the table through negotiations, up to the contract.
Project or retainer fees, with a success component when the goal is measurable.
Founders and boards of SMEs and mid-caps that want to grow beyond their home market.
Groups entering Italy that need partners, channels and a lean structure to start.
Family offices and investors looking for selected deals and someone to follow them after signing.
