Sale, acquisition and the future of the company
We support owners and families through sales, acquisitions, successions and restructurings. From valuation to running the transaction, from Monaco, in Italy and in France.
How we work
One point of contact
The person who studies the deal runs it through to signing
Under mandate
Scope, timing and fees agreed in writing before we begin
With your advisers
Working with your lawyers, accountants and banks
Confidential
No name is shared without your written consent
Outside our scope
No regulated financial activity, no asset management
Four ways we work with you
Mergers and acquisitions
Full or partial sale, acquisition, carve-out of a business unit, sale of shares. We bring more than one party to the table and protect value all the way to closing.
- Valuation and a reasoned price range
- Information memorandum for buyers and investors
- Search and selection of counterparties, anonymous approach
- Negotiation, due diligence, signing and handover
Business succession and opening up capital
When the business stays in the family but changes shape, when a shareholder exits, or when an investor comes in to fund a step change in size.
- Review of the shareholding and the options available
- Entry of an industrial or financial partner
- Buyout of an exiting shareholder
- Preparing the business and its people for the change
Restructuring and turnaround
Restoring balance to a business under pressure while the options are still open. The earlier we step in, the more tools remain on the table.
- Economic, financial and operational diagnosis
- Turnaround plan and dialogue with creditors, alongside your lawyers
- Operational and commercial reorganisation
- Sale of non-core activities
Target and partner search
A search-only mandate, for companies that want to grow by acquisition or find an industrial partner in a market they do not yet know.
- Search criteria and market mapping
- Qualified list of possible targets or partners
- Anonymous first approach and qualification
- Support through the deal, if you decide to proceed
One-off assignments
A reasoned value range, cross-checked with at least two methods, and the levers that can improve it. Useful even if you are not selling, to know where you stand.
Tailored studies and analysis
A market study, a sector review, an assessment of an offer you have received or of a potential buyer, before you decide.
Second opinion on a live transaction
You already have an adviser or a negotiation under way and want an independent view on the price, the terms or the process.
How we start
Three steps before any commitment. No cost until we sign a mandate.
01
A first contact
Write a couple of lines about your situation, through the form or on WhatsApp. We reply ourselves, not an assistant, and we keep things general until we know each other.
02
A confidential meeting
In Monaco, in Milan or by video call. We listen, ask questions and tell you frankly whether there is a transaction to be done and whether we are the right people.
03
A mandate proposal
Scope, phases, timing and fees in writing. From then on we work, and you have a single point of contact for the whole transaction.
Where we work
Our home base, and a meeting point for business owners and investors from many countries.
Manufacturing and service companies in Lombardy, Piedmont and Emilia.
Alessandro and Marina Pedano, their background and the way we work.
Where to begin
A couple of lines about your situation are enough. We will reply personally, in confidence, even if only to tell you whether the timing is right.

A first meeting, with no commitment and in the strictest discretion, about the transaction you are considering.
