A business transaction or succession planning is typically a once-in-a-lifetime event for an entrepreneur. It often involves not only personal interests but also the most valuable asset of the owner’s family — their own business. The quality of advisory services in the market for mid-sized transactions varies greatly. In this segment, one often encounters brokers who attempt to simulate investor interest through mass mailings. Large advisory firms usually apply a standardized approach that often fails to adequately consider the individual interests of mid-sized clients.
 

GVG is a partner-led advisory firm specializing in business transactions and succession planning for the German mid-market. Our founding partners learned the transaction business at top-tier Anglo-Saxon investment banks such as Morgan Stanley, Rothschild, CFSB, and Lehman Brothers, and now bring this expertise to mid-sized German entrepreneurs.
 

As part of our advisory services, we provide individual, partner-level support throughout the entire transaction process — from initial planning to notarized closing. Together, we define the target outcome and, before a mandate is issued, provide you with a fair assessment regarding feasibility, investor interest, and valuation. Throughout the process, we stand by your side at every step.
 

We are happy to connect you with former clients for reference.
