Our Expertise

An innovative idea and a motivated founder are crucial prerequisites for a successful start-up. But a solid business structure is also essential – this is where we step in. We help you with the creation of a business plan, during talks for generating capital and the establishment of a corporation.

We are by your side through all phases of start-up foundation and in the subsequent business management tasks. We have a network of quality lawyers and notaries with whom we have been working closely for years,which enables us to provide you with comprehensive consulting through to complete outsourcing of the administrative areas – so that you can focus on your business.

We have provided support to many companies since their foundation and can also advise you with regard to company valuation in the event of mergers and acquisitions (M & A), as well as on adapting business processes to organic structures.
