Conseil en cession et transmission d’entreprises

Are you looking to
SELL or TRANSFER
your business?

What is the true value of my company? Is this the right time to sell? Who would be the best buyer?

You may not necessarily know how to approach this process, and this is quite normal. Selling or transferring a company is a strategic transaction. This implies:

Taking into account a wide range of technical factors: legal, social, inheritance, and operational, for example in the context of a merger or a consolidation.
Fine-tuned handling of human factors: life plans and stakeholder personalities, assets, relations between partners, social issues, succession, governance, and others.

In addition to our expertise in facilitating sale transactions, Carmine Capital boasts a wide range of experience, as well as a keen ability to understand your situation as a selling business owner, along with the subtleties of the negotiations.

STRATEGY

Providing potential acquirers with the most favourable insight into the acquisition opportunity that your company represents: growth potential, strength of the business model, competitive positioning, quality of your customer base, as well as all the relevant value-creating factors.
Demonstrate your company’s ability to deliver on its promises: people skills, proficiency in the technology and/or services offered, and development strategy.

Our added value

Marketing: targeting the message and positioning the tone of the presentation to suit the expectations of the potential buyers’ various profiles, thus ensuring their interest..
Strategic vision: build a credible, ambitious strategic plan, identifying the risk areas of the dossier, and implementing solutions to optimise its value.

STEERING

We guide the research and qualification phases in complete transparency.

Objectives

Having the certainty of completing the transaction:

With the most suitable buyer: “the best price / the clearest future / the highest security”.
Under optimum conditions: financial and also human, in order to protect the values held by your company.

Our added value

Bringing intelligence and strategy to targeting: determining the acquirers for whom the acquisition will provide the greatest potential leverage.
Valuing your business beyond its financial standing: orchestrating a competitive process within a specific timeframe while conducting a negotiation strategy tailored to each potential acquirer.
Saving time: anticipating potential stumbling blocks thanks to an intimate knowledge of your company, and organising the sequence of operations accordingly, to limit the number of back-and-forth discussions.

NEGOCIATION

We assist you during the negotiation and finalisation stages.

Objectives

We provide guidance during the audit phase and throughout the negotiations, ensuring you are only called upon when necessary.
Bringing the deal to a successful conclusion on time, on target, and of the highest quality.

Our added value

Protection: creating a “buffer zone” between sellers and buyers in order to calmly conclude the transaction, particularly during the difficult negotiation phase.
Decoding: providing you with an “operational” vision of the legal requirements.
Long-term vision: encouraging the company’s development and guaranteeing the relevance of the terms of the transaction over time through earn-outs, deferred disposals, and the like.
Compliance: ensuring that the “spirit” of the negotiations is faithfully reflected in the legal documentation thus avoiding any future source of disagreement.

The support offered by Carmine's teams, particularly in terms of psychological support for the manager, was particularly significant to me. The expertise of Germain Simoneau and his team was a great help in navigating through these emotional fluctuations.

At Carmine Capital I encountered both a great deal of humanity in the discussions and a genuine determination in identifying potential targets enabling them to meet my criteria and values as closely as possible. I recommend Carmine Capital.

Brigitte CantineauFounder of Teamwork

I greatly appreciated Anne-Laure Beuriot's strong commitment during the course of the transaction. She was most reassuring. Not for a second did I regret the choice I made to go with Carmine Capital.

François de Boutray CEO at the AKTOR Group

Without Carmine's involvement, we would not have been able to finalise this transaction. I especially valued the efficiency of the team, their skills, and their responsiveness.

Eric Caussatco-General Manager of Caussat Espaces Verts

Carmine Capital's support was perfect. Carmine helped us to make the best decisions, to orchestrate the exchanges while respecting the criteria that we had defined, always in a good mood.
