Strategic positioning consulting
FINANCIERE CINCINNATUS is accustomed to helping small and medium-sized companies make the most of decision-making tools to help them determine the best possible direction, both from an industrial point of view and in terms of value creation.
YOUR CHALLENGE
-
You're hesitating between different choices that could have a major impact on the future of your company:
-
Should you sell now?
-
Should you grow through small, targeted acquisitions, and with what financing?
-
Should you sell your loss-making business?
A tailored service offering
FINANCIERE CINCINNATUS, on its own or with a reputable strategy consultancy with which it has established a partnership, offers you the decision-making tools you need to provide shareholders with the essential information they need (potential valuation, targets of potential acquirers or buyers, access to financing, market conditions, positioning in the value chain, quantification of possible synergies, strategic due diligence, etc.) within the framework of a mandate adapted to small and medium-sized structures.
Advice on acquisitions
Right up to closing, I carried out over 50 acquisition transactions, both for clients and for the industrial groups that employed me.
FINANCIERE CINCINNATUS can provide you with additional expertise or logistical support.
The help of a professional does not alter your ability to make decisions or to judge whether or not to make an acquisition. It does, however, enable you to better identify and calibrate the risks associated with the acquisition, to try to cover some of them in the acquisition contract, or to factor them into the acquisition price. An intermediary reduces conflict between buyer and seller, and promotes the quality of exchanges and the flow of information.
YOUR CHALLENGE
If you're wondering whether an acquisition is right for you, or if you want to secure a deal in a competitive or difficult environment:
-
How can you increase the value of a company that is making a loss but has prospects for recovery?
-
How do you finance the deal?
-
What are the costs involved in this type of transaction?
-
What is the best strategy for dealing with the seller?
-
How should due diligence be organized, and what are the main areas of risk?
-
When and how should you prepare for integrating the acquisition into your company?

Advice on disposals
Cyril Ravilly has already sold over thirty companies. He is able to manage the entire sale process in the best interests of his clients. Disposals always take time, but it is in the best interests of the seller to complete them as quickly as possible. Having a consultant with extensive experience in this field can save a great deal of time and money.

In complete confidentiality, the firm is responsible, under the supervision of its client, for proposing the takeover plan, drawing up the support elements for discussions on valuation, helping to produce a company presentation file, drawing up a list and contacting potential buyers, advising shareholders during negotiations, and coordinating all parties involved, culminating in the signature of a binding legal document.
Search for partnerships or financing
FINANCIERE CINCINNATUS, since its inception, has specialized in helping to set up partnerships in sensitive areas such as defense and nuclear power. These may involve foreign private partners (Brazil, Canada, Poland, etc.) as well as French private or state partners.
The firm can help you identify the best partners to obtain national or European public or private funding, and prepare the various financial files required.
