We understand your business.

When a company is under strategic or financial pressure, an outside perspective helps. But it needs to be more than that, it needs to be energetic and, above all, bringing fast support in tackling your pain points. As business model experts with long experience in restructuring, we are always at your side.

Our restructuring concepts deliver more than large Excel spreadsheets. We link the pure numbers with a sound qualitative market analysis that works with the business model – thus maconda offers more than the typical restructuring consultants who often fixate on figures or graphs. We will lay the foundation for the sustainable restructuring of your business.

As specialists in commercial due diligence, we understand the markets and their drivers. That is our core competence. Our approach not only convinces investors, especially private equity companies and family offices, we also enjoy an excellent reputation among financing banks and debt funds.

With this knowledge and our many years of experience, we also provide conceptual advice on Buy & Build. We prepare M&A transactions, develop promising equity stories and search for exciting target companies – always on the basis of our mature methodology, which we have refined over the years.

Together, we start into the future. As specialists in the SME sector, we support our clients through their growth projects – be it organically or through buy & build. We also provide support during the transformation and market entry into new business areas or countries. In doing so, you profit from our industry knowledge and many years of experience across the range of corporate development phases. We are happy to pass on our valuable knowledge from numerous company and market analyses because as a partner at eye level, we value close and trusting cooperation.
