We provide dedicated advisory for the German Mittelstand which we consider an important growth contributor to the German economy. We believe that also small Cap companies need tailored and experienced advice in the area of corporate finance - just as large companies do.  

We’re trained to work with with best-in-class as much as non-perfect finance organisations and provide hands-on support where needed. 

Our service offering extends from structuring and executing sell side transactions, evaluating and supporting buyside opportunities including the financial due diligence, all the way to strategic business assessment and valuation work.

Our Japan-related advisory is suited for both Japanese as well as German clients in cross-border situations. Tina’s personal experience and track-record as a former M&A banker with Goldman Sachs in Tokyo has given her a deep professional and cultural understanding of how to successfully deliver deals in Japan.

Westend Corporate Finance supports German clients seeking investments in Japan. This may include an acquisition, a public to private transaction or a merger. Additionally, we become involved in situations in which a German company seeks support in dealing with Japanese counterparts in Germany domiciled deals as they wish to better understand the way Japanese approach. This will increase transaction certainty. 

Likewise, we assist Japanese corporates, in particular those who may not be familiar with practices and the rule of the game when doing M&A in the German-speaking region. In merger situations we provide best practice deal advisory. This may include situations where our clients may have to deal with different stakeholders including the sellers, various advisor groups, workers’ council and unions as well as political stakeholders.
