Sale of a business, acquisition against an investor's criteria, valuation and due diligence. Range: RUB 300m – 5bn — the segment between the large advisory firms and the brokers of small going concerns.
Valuation, packaging, buyer list, targeted outreach, collection of offers, negotiation, support through closing.
Investor criteria, long list and short list of targets, approach to owners, diligence, deal structure and financing.
Three methods and a bridge from enterprise value to cash in hand. A document you can cite in negotiation and that the buyer's bank accepts.
Finance, legal, tax, commercial, operations. Red flags are stated before the other side finds them.
Teaser, information memorandum, financial model, data room. The buyer reads a document instead of interrogating the owner.
A first-100-days plan and tracking of the reason the asset was bought. Most transactions lose value precisely here.

We work where a large adviser's team costs more than the fee on the transaction. Our structure lets us run these assets to the same standard of materials.
MAXCAPITAL partners have taken part in mergers and acquisitions with an aggregate value above $1bn — in a range of roles and across a range of sectors. Publicly we describe the part that confidentiality agreements permit.
The basis is equity value — the price of the shares. A calculation on total assets including the company's debt absorbs most of what the owner expects to keep, so the basis is fixed in the mandate and stays unchanged.
You deal with the transaction director. Analysis, valuation, legal and tax are handled by specialists selected for the specific asset.
Stage status, completed documents, who received the asset, who signed an NDA and what they replied — in real time.
In the regions and in specific sectors the transaction is led by an independent advisor who has passed our accreditation. The mandate is signed with the firm.
