As an M&A advisory firm, we support and advise businesses through mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic business combinations. AXP Advisors assists entrepreneurs and companies throughout the entire buy- or sell-side process from valuation to closing.
Why choose AXP?
AXP manages the entire sales process with a sharp eye for detail and strategy, focused on achieving the highest possible sale value and creating a true win-win outcome for both parties. We ensure a smooth and successful transaction from the very first steps all the way through and beyond closing.
Transparency: Clear, straightforward reports with no hidden costs.
Expertise: Our team consists of experienced professionals with in-depth knowledge of business valuations and sales processes.
We provide full support in preparing your business for sale, managing the sales process, conducting negotiations, overseeing due diligence, and handling the final closing. Our team of experts is ready to assist you at every stage of the journey.
A successful business sale often requires years of preparation. When getting your company “sale-ready,” we analyze all factors that influence its value and marketability — including the optimization of free cash flows, EBITDA, and working capital financing.
We ensure a well-structured and thoroughly prepared sales process. From drafting key sales documents (such as teasers and information memorandums) to identifying and engaging with potential buyers, we guide you every step of the way to achieve a successful transaction.
Negotiations and due diligence are critical phases of the sales process. Our experienced team provides expert support during negotiations and ensures that the due diligence process runs smoothly, minimizing disruptions to your day-to-day operations.
At the final stage — the closing — we make sure everything proceeds according to plan. We guide you carefully through completion, ensuring you can close the deal with confidence. In addition, we help safeguard that the agreed terms continue to work effectively for both parties long after the closing, ensuring a sustainable and successful outcome.
