What are CatCap’s unique selling points as a corporate finance advisor?
We are Entrepreneurs.
As an owner-operated corporate finance consultancy firm, CatCap provides support to businesses and their shareholders from one entrepreneur to another.
We guarantee confidentiality and integrity.
A strategic corporate action demands the highest possible degree of trust and integrity from the partner. In this regard, CatCap adheres to the strictest requirements - from the client’s selection and any agreed disclosure of information, to the assessment of transaction risks.
We know what we are doing.
CatCap has at its disposal a team of seasoned experts in transactions and negotiations, a top-notch network, years of transaction, valuation and process knowledge and cutting-edge research. CatCap enjoys 100 person-years of corporate finance experience from 250 transactions with a total volume of €3 billion.
We know the investors and buyers.
From the numerous transactions we have handled, we know many M&A and investment managers and their strategies personally. Our clients benefit from this mutual trust. Thereby we can also actively develop ideas for advantageous transactions.
We have access to private investors and family offices.
CatCap works in close collaboration with a circle of private investors and family offices who provide capital for long-term business and value growth to medium-sized firms and start-ups – with long-term investment horizons, sometimes spanning generations, if an attractive or strategic purchase price and/or compensation from considerable synergies cannot be attained in the meantime.
We know the successors.
Throughout Germany, CatCap has access to the largest pool of management buy-in candidates who guarantee corporate succession and continuity for medium-sized enterprises. CatCap mediates between the management buy-in candidates and senior executives and secures financing for the purchase price.
We are international.
As a member of Globalscope, an international network of owner-operated corporate finance consultancy firms, CatCap is able to identify and acquire the ideal partner or additional purchase across national boundaries. CatCap has overseen numerous international transactions. The countries of destination/origin of the buyers/sellers have included the US, France, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, India, Russia and China.
