    Terms and mechanics

    Response usually within 72 hours

    After a complete teaser or IM we usually give a qualified response within 72 hours. The next steps are agreed individually.

    Focused due diligence

    We review finance, tax, legal, HR and operations with a lean buy-side team.

    SPA and warranties

    The SPA sets the purchase price, warranties, indemnities and closing conditions. We work with standard, fair warranties and use W&I insurance where it makes sense.

    Earn-out and vendor loan

    Where valuations differ, we structure an earn-out or a vendor loan with clear KPIs and reporting rights.

    From signing to closing

    Between signing and closing the conditions precedent are met, for example merger clearance, bank consent or change-of-control approvals.

    Employee transfer (§ 613a BGB)

    All employment relationships transfer with all rights and obligations. We communicate openly and keep the team together.
