Company Acquisition and Sale
Buying or selling a company is a significant strategic decision. Beyond the business opportunity, it involves a wide range of tax, financial, and legal considerations that need to be carefully managed.
Structured preparation and professional guidance help identify risks early and ensure an efficient transaction process. For mid-market companies in particular, company valuation, tax structuring, and financing are central to the success of any deal.
The experts at Ecovis support you at every stage of a company acquisition or sale — from the initial analysis through to successful closing.

Our Services
Every successful transaction starts with clarity. We assess your strategic objectives, economic situation, and the conditions surrounding the deal — whether you are looking to grow, plan a succession, or restructure your portfolio. This analysis forms the foundation for all decisions that follow.
A sound valuation is essential for both buyers and sellers. We help you determine a realistic company value based on earnings performance, assets, market position, and growth potential — giving you a strong footing for price negotiations and deal structuring.
The choice between a share deal and an asset deal has significant implications for taxes, liability, and overall deal economics. We advise you on the structure that best serves your interests.
Smart tax structuring can make a substantial difference to the outcome of a transaction. Our tax advisors develop a tailored approach that minimizes tax exposure on both sides — taking into account holding structures, current legislation, and potential reorganization options.
We help you determine the right financing mix — whether through bank debt, equity, vendor loans, or external investors. We support you in structuring the deal financing, preparing documentation for lenders, and integrating investors in a way that sets the transaction up for long-term success.
We stay with you from the first conversation to the final signature — and beyond. Our support covers coordination of all parties, assistance during due diligence, guidance through contract negotiations, and post-closing follow-up to ensure a smooth transition.
