M&A / Private Equity Consulting
valantic helps investors and shareholders maximize their return on investment.

Maximizing return on investment
Our expert team supports investors, shareholders, and management during all phases of the M&A process, covering due diligences, IT transformation, and value creation initiatives during the investment phase, and vendor due diligences upon exit. With more than 550 transactions¹ and over 700 successful value creation, IT transformation, and PMI projects, we are one of the most experienced European service providers for leveraging investment portfolios.

Due Diligence
With more than 550 successfully completed due diligences¹, we are a reliable partner for transactions in the digital environment. Our due diligences include all relevant commercial and technical aspects that can impact the viability and value of an investment. Learn more about our Transaction Services, including Commercial Due Diligence, Tech Due Diligence, IT Due Diligence, Product Due Diligence, Data Due Diligence, Operational Due Diligence, and ESG Due Diligence.

Strategy and Roadmap
After the completion of a transaction, our strategic consulting services help businesses unlock their full potential. We work closely with investors, shareholders and portfolio companies in order to identify growth opportunities, optimize operations, and create long-term value for stakeholders. Strategic goals are then translated into a concise and reliable execution plan – ranging from 100-day-goals to long term execution roadmaps.

Execution and Value Creation
During the value creation phase, we help investors and management grow their company values to their full potential. In more than 700 projects, we have successfully increased valuation by accelerating revenue growth, improving performance and transforming business models. In case of management bottlenecks or crisis situations, our experienced project and interim managers ensure a reliable operational implementation.

IT Transformation
In more than 250 transactions, we have successfully mastered IT transformation in carve-outs, post merger integrations, management of IT crises and IT turnarounds as well as software and infrastructure projects. We are familiar with challenging conditions such as short TSA phases and demanding stakeholders. Our approach is based on a proven set of methods and tools that ensure successful results – even in transactions under high time pressure.

Exit Preparation and Divestiture
As the moment of divestiture approaches, we maximize the return on investment with vendor due diligence processes. We create commercial and technical vendor DDs and data books, lead internal teams through expert sessions, coordinate response and prepare playbooks for necessary transformation. For necessary carve outs, we develop TSAs and corresponding contracts and support preparation for technical separation.
