Why transaction expertise matters now
The uncomfortable truth: 50-70% of M&A transactions fail to create the expected value. In Greece's dynamic market, where opportunities span from distressed turnarounds to growth capital investments, the difference between success and failure lies in preparation, process, and integration planning.
Managing €4 billion in distressed portfolios taught us the patterns: deals fail from poor execution, not bad strategy. Sellers undervalue through weak preparation. Buyers overpay from rushed diligence. Both treat integration as an afterthought. We've structured hundreds of workouts, sales, and refinancings—we know what works.
We bring practical transaction expertise that goes beyond financial analysis. Whether you're a business owner exploring exit options, an investor seeking acquisitions, or a company pursuing strategic growth, we provide the structured approach and hands-on support that transforms good ideas into successful deals.
