Equity Capital, Assets Sale

In order to attract an investor or to sell any assets of our clients we have identified the needs of our partners, i.e. direct investment funds, industrial holdings and private investors. Nowadays we are not only aware of major participants interested in transactions in certain industries, but we have several approved mandates for target company searches for them. DS Capital has sufficient knowledge to the position of the principal participants of the market looking for the companies to purchase and being ready for sale.

The list of our partners includes strategic and institutional investors.

In the first case the owner is usually a major company that works in the same or related industry, intends to gain control over some business and thus to strengthen its market power and diversifying its areas of business, and that will be interested in direct participation in management. This allows the seller to get access to longer term money required for development, to use the investor’s expertise and market power (purchases, logistics, credit facilities).

An institutional investor acting either as a direct investment fund, insurance company, pension fund or a private investor expects the company's capitalisation growth over time that will allow him to increase its investments. He is not interested in participation in management.

In any case any merger is carried out in accordance with a multistep procedure:

• Business preparation for sale;
• Selection of a contractor (further seller or buyer of the business);
• Assessment of the market value of the assets and preparation of presentation materials;
• Conduct of negotiations taking into account the client’s line;
• Arrangement of Due diligence;
• Planning the transaction structure.
• Legal support of the transaction.
