Who We Are

Our Pedigree:

Founded in 1983, we are Spain’s Oldest Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory Firm. We specialise in Cross-Border Strategic Deals, primarily between Spain and the rest of the world, but with a special emphasis on transactions within the European Union (EU).

Our firm is small, exclusive and independent and we would like to remain that way. We only accept a small number of the assignments offered to us; when we are convinced that we can add value, and when we feel confident that a high probability of success exists. Our Partners include Spaniards, and Spanish-speaking Americans and Europeans, all with many years of business experience in Spain, and all intimately familiar with Spanish business practice. We know how things work in Spain; and have a reputation for getting them done

One significant advantage of working with a financial boutique such as ours, is that our experienced partners deal with all aspects of each project. This is in stark contrast to the large international investment banks (and many other M&A advisory firms), which normally use their senior people only to sell; and then delegate most of the work to their inexperienced “juniors”. Consequently, it is important for the client to interview all the people who will be working directly on the project, on a day-to-day basis.

Market Niche:

Our typical deal size is in the €uros 10 Million to €uros 100 Million range. Our specific market niche is assisting international companies make strategic acquisitions and divestitures. Making acquisitions in Spain usually implies that the “Targets” are middle market, family-owned, non-quoted, companies. When divesting companies in Spain, we seek Spanish, as well as international buyers.

Infrastructure:

We depend heavily on Information Technology (IT) for efficiency and productivity. We maintain a comprehensive reference library containing company directories, trade fair catalogues, product literature, annual reports, industry association directories, etc. We also subscribe to several on-line Internet Databases and CD-Roms.

We are also the Spanish founders of IMAP (International Mergers and Acquisitions Professionals), a professional association promoting quality M & A advisory work. IMAP has 60 offices, located in twenty countries. When searching for qualified buyers we always call upon our international colleagues.

Our Track Record:

Finally, we believe that our track record speaks for itself. During the past eighteen years, the number of Middle Market Cross-Border deals closed by our firm in Spain, places us among the top three of all M & A advisory firms, including all the Spanish and foreign banks.
