Often the strategic orientation of the company is not supported by all shareholders. Conflicts within the owner's circle are blocking important decisions.

Does your bank finance your growth?

In order to maintain their growth dynamics and competitive position, companies must be able to perceive their chances of developing and marketing new products, more efficient production processes, opening up new markets or acquisitions. The financing of growth, however, is becoming increasingly difficult for companies. The pressure on banks to use their equity more efficiently will result in even more restrictive lending in the future. The house bank principle based on relationships no longer lends itself to the financing requirements. While corporations continue to be adequately supplied with equity and debt, medium-sized companies are already experiencing increasingly restrictive lending and unattractive conditions for bank loans.

Your foreign competitor may already be better financed.

Many companies are in fierce competition with international competitors who have more flexible and liquid financing to better respond to strategic market challenges. Traditionally financed German companies are thus under pressure.

What if leasing and factoring are not enough?

Medium-sized enterprises are also building their financing to the structure of corporations and placing them on a broader foundation. Factoring and leasing are sensible and tried and tested instruments for generating financing solutions outside the balance sheet. However, in many cases, these instruments are not sufficient to cover the capital requirements flexibly. The basis for financing should be expanded and new capital markets opened up.

Where are finance hiding?

The balance sheet regularly contains potential for optimization, which can be used for financing purposes. The experts at SCP Swiss Capital-Partners AG analyze the current structure of your balance sheet together with you. In doing so, possible approaches for optimization are disclosed and financing reserves are raised.

External capital helps as solution.

Solutions are often only possible through external financing. This also makes it possible to avoid high private borrowing by individual shareholders in purchasing financing. SCP Swiss Capital-Partners AG helps to create a valuation basis for potential shareholders, to structure the transaction and to procure the necessary funds on the capital market. In order to finance further growth, the company's capital base can be strengthened at the same time as the restructuring of the shareholder group.

Only a suitable successor sets the course for the future.

A central problem of owner-owned, medium-sized enterprises in family ownership is the regulation of the succession. Qualified management potential for solving the succession is often already present in the company. In order to ensure entrepreneurial motivation, however, management's involvement is indispensable. Since managers generally do not have the necessary capital to take over the shares of the owner, they need external investors to finance their project. The current shareholder can - at the same time, reduce his risk - be backed up at the company upon request and also contribute his know-how to the advisory board. The company, the employees, the location and the shareholders profit from such a structure.

Abroad already a self-evident.

From the experience of the UK market, a sale to the existing management [management buy out] or to a new management [management buy-in] is a highly tested and successful way of long-term enterprise security.

Success requires good preparation.

SCP Swiss Capital-Partners AG advises the entrepreneur in advance in the evaluation of its action alternatives. The partners of SCP Swiss Capital-Partners AG have accompanied a variety of M & A projects and can include and evaluate all available alternatives. If a buy out comes into question, we help to structure the financing and find the right financing partner. There is no lack of capital, but the quality and focus of investors are very different and require qualified selection and well-prepared negotiations. Often the strategic orientation of the company is not supported by all shareholders. Conflicts within the owner's circle are blocking important decisions. These issues need to be solved before any competitive competitors gain their advantage. An inventory of the actual interests of the individual shareholders can often pave the way for changes in the shareholder group. Also concrete motives such as the withdrawal of an owner from the management, age reasons, the desire for an asset realization or diversification or a too heterogeneous shareholder's stock may necessitate a shareholder purchase.

Concentration on core business.

Sustained and profitable company growth is fostered by consistent focus on the core business. For this reason, more and more corporations are separated from their holdings in order to concentrate on their actual business. A spin-off from the group structure ensures more flexibility in the market and frees management and financial resources. Many corporations have driven diversification too far in the past and are now faced with the problem of finding suitable investors for their subsidiary companies. Strategic buyers are often limited to highly strategic investments at a low price, so selling to financial investors is often the only realistic option. For your project we provide our many years of experience and our extensive contacts in the private equity sector.

SCP Swiss Capital-Partners AG will also take into account and consider alternatives to the financing possibilities, e.g. a strengthening of the own funds by time-limited investors.

MBO

The purchase of a company is the most interesting professional challenge for managers with entrepreneurial ambitions. Successive situations at family businesses or the sale of non-strategic corporate units regularly provide suitable purchasing objects.

But: How do I find the right capital partner?

The main decision of the manager is the selection of a suitable equity partner. This decision must be carefully prepared. More than 600 investors with very different focus on such structures are available in Europe alone. On the basis of an operational concept, a detailed financial concept should be developed, presented to a hand-picked group of equity investors.

It depends on the preparation.
