Cor­po­rate fi­nance is the one field where ex­perts from all our prac­tice groups are re­qui­red. Busi­ness con­sul­tants re­view the eco­no­mic fea­si­bi­lity of the mea­su­res being con­side­red, while au­di­tors en­sure that the plans and va­lua­ti­ons are cor­rect. Our la­wy­ers pro­vide wa­ter­tight con­tracts and our ex­pe­ri­en­ced tax ad­vi­sors keep their eyes on the tax risks. And our ser­vices don't stop at the Ger­man bor­der. Working with our in­ter­na­tio­nal part­ners we can as­sist you with both in­bound and out­bound in­vest­ments.

Pro­vi­ding busi­ness va­lua­ti­ons has been a core com­pe­tency of Eb­ner Stolz for many years.

Due diligence

When per­for­ming due di­li­gence, we create trans­pa­rency and eva­luate com­pa­nies' fi­nan­cial, tax-re­la­ted and le­gal cir­cum­stan­ces so that op­por­tu­nities and risks can be eva­lua­ted ap­pro­pria­tely

Me­dium-si­zed com­pa­nies are highly in­no­va­tive, but in­no­va­tion of­ten calls for con­side­ra­ble in­vest­ments with the re­la­ted need for ca­pi­tal. So that our cli­ents can im­ple­ment their ideas quickly and in the pro­per frame­work, we as­sist them with their fi­nan­cing plans.
