Advice in strategic positioning
FINANCIERE CINCINNATUS is used to advising small and medium-sized companies on how to determine the best possible option both from an industrial point of view and value creation.
YOUR ISSUES
You hesitate between various major choices for the future of your company:
Is it a good time to sell?
Should we grow by small targeted acquisitions and with which type of financing?
Should we sell this loss-making business?
What is the best timing for launching this M&A transaction?
How to keep certain flexibility between the different options?
At what price could this transaction be achieved and with what timing?

FINANCIERE CINCINNATUS, alone or with a renowned strategy firm with which it has a partnership, offers decision tools support for shareholders to have the main data (potential value, targeted buyers or potential acquirers, financing, market conditions, value chain positioning, quantification of synergies, due diligence...) with a mandate adapted to small organisations.
Acquisition advisory
I have successfully concluded more than 50 acquisition deals on behalf of clients who hired me or for industrial groups. FINANCIERE CINCINNATUS can bring you complementary expertise or additional logistic support.
The support of a professional does not alter your decision or own assessment on whether or not to make an acquisition. Taking advice from an expert allows better identification and evaluation of the risks associated to the deal. It enables you to cover most of them in the acquisition contract or to take them into account in the final purchase price. An external advisor reduces conflict situations between the buyer and the seller and improves communication and information flow.
You wonder about the relevance of an acquisition or you want to secure the deal in a competitive and challenging environment:
How to value a loss-making business but with recovery opportunities?
How to finance the transaction?
What are the costs linked with this type of transaction?
What is the best strategy towards the seller?
How to organize due diligence and what are the main risks?
When and how to prepare for the integration of the acquired company?

Disposal advisory
Cyril Ravilly has already completed the sale of over 30 companies. He is capable of managing an entire sales process for the best interest of its clients. Sales transactions always take time while it is in the best interest of the vendor to conclude the deal as soon as possible. Benefiting from an advisor with strong field experience can help to save a lot of time and money.
