Financial Advisory
Transaction Advisory
Understand the value of your company and the economic consequences of a transaction
When selling a company, acquiring a business or admitting an investor, you need to understand value, price and the assumptions behind them. It is essential to know what the individual transaction terms mean for your decision.
Aprecia provides economic support to business owners, investors and management. We prepare valuations, financial models and analyses, and we assist in negotiations on transaction terms.
Situations
Situations in which we can help
You are selling a company or part of it
We help you understand the value of the business and create a basis for price negotiations. We assess the economic assumptions of the valuation and the factors that may influence the value of the company.
You gain support in formulating price expectations and in evaluating the offers received.
You are considering acquiring a business
We help you assess the value of the business and the assumptions underlying its expected results. Using financial modelling, we compare possible development scenarios and their impact on the economics of the intended transaction.
The analyses provide a basis for decisions on price and other terms of the acquisition.
You are preparing for an investor
We assess the value of the company and the economic context of the entry of a strategic or financial investor. We help articulate the assumptions of future development and prepare materials for negotiating the terms of entry.
You are changing the ownership structure
We provide expert support for transfers between shareholders, handovers of family businesses, and buy-outs of a business by its current management (MBO) or by managers coming from outside (MBI).
Valuation and economic analyses help the parties involved negotiate on the basis of clearly stated assumptions.
Deliverables
What we prepare for you
Valuation and price range
We determine the value of the business or part of it and prepare a price framework as a basis for negotiations. We explain the methods used, the decisive assumptions and the circumstances that influence the result.
The value from a valuation and the agreed price may differ. The price also depends on the specific terms of the transaction and on the agreement of the parties involved.
Financial models and scenario comparison
We prepare a financial model that makes it possible to assess the expected development of the business and compare different assumptions. We show how changes in them affect results, cash flows and the value of the business.
Analysis of factors influencing value
We identify which characteristics of the business, prospects and risks have the greatest impact on its value. We help distinguish material factors from assumptions of lesser significance.
Economic support for negotiations
We help explain the valuation, assess the economic arguments of the other party and evaluate the proposed terms. We support you in comparing options and in formulating an economically substantiated position.
Cooperation with legal and tax advisors
On matters with legal or tax implications we cooperate with the relevant advisors. The economic assessment can thus be aligned with the legal and tax aspects of the planned transaction.
Cooperation

We review the planned transaction, its current phase, your goals and the main questions. We agree the scope of support, the required materials and the timeframe.

We analyse the business and materials
We familiarise ourselves with the business, its financial results and the available plans. We identify the facts and assumptions material to the valuation and further analyses.

We prepare the valuation and economic scenarios
We produce the agreed deliverables and explain their conclusions. Together we review what the results mean for the intended transaction and which questions require further assessment.
- 4
We support you in negotiations
Within the agreed scope we help evaluate offers, explain economic arguments and assess changes to the proposed terms.
We tailor the scope of cooperation to the phase of the transaction and the questions you need to resolve.
Questions
What is useful to know before we start
When is the right time to contact you?
Already at the first considerations of a sale, acquisition or investor entry. An early assessment of value and economic context helps you prepare for negotiations. We can also join a transaction already under way.
What materials should I prepare?
For initial contact, a brief description of your intention, the current situation and the desired timing is sufficient. Subsequent analyses usually require financial statements, information about the business and available financial plans. We will specify the exact list according to the assignment.
Can you help with just one part of a transaction?
The scope of support can be focused, for example, on the valuation of the business, a financial model or an economic assessment of an offer. During the initial consultation we define which questions you need answered and which deliverable will be useful for you.
