From opportunity to closing. We advise companies and entrepreneurs on acquisitions, disposals, participations and joint ventures between Switzerland, Europe and Asia – confidentially, and with the same team from first contact to signing.
We work on strategic, entrepreneurial transactions – where the buyer is a company or an entrepreneur with an operating rationale, not a portfolio allocation.
Definition of acquisition criteria, target identification and screening, confidential approach of owners, analysis and valuation support, and management of the process through to closing.
Positioning and preparation, discreet buyer identification, controlled release of information, management of competing interest and negotiation of terms – without exposing the business to the market.
Minority and majority participations, joint ventures, distribution and manufacturing partnerships – including governance, exit and deadlock provisions that survive the first disagreement.
Valuation coordination, due diligence management, negotiation support, and coordination of legal, tax and technical specialists on both sides until the transaction is signed and completed.
Every transaction is different, but the discipline is the same. We keep the process controlled, documented and confidential at every stage.
We define the strategic rationale, the acquisition or disposal criteria and the boundaries of the process.
Systematic identification of targets or buyers, screened against the agreed criteria before any approach.
Owners and decision-makers are approached discreetly, under NDA, without disclosing your identity prematurely.
Business analysis and coordination of valuation, supported by independent specialists where required.
Structured due diligence: legal, financial, tax, commercial and technical – coordinated and tracked.
Negotiation support, coordination of legal and tax counsel, and management of the process through to closing.
An Asian industrial group intends to acquire a European manufacturer in order to gain technology, certification and access to the European market.
We define the acquisition criteria, identify and screen targets, approach owners confidentially, organise NDAs and the controlled exchange of information, support analysis and valuation, coordinate due diligence, accompany the negotiations, instruct and coordinate legal and tax counsel, and remain involved through to closing and the first phase of integration.
The mirror image applies to Swiss owners seeking a strategic buyer or partner in Asia – with the same discipline, in the opposite direction.
Transaction mandates are engaged on a retainer plus a success-based component, agreed individually in writing at the outset. We do not publish fee levels or percentages; the structure is discussed once the scope of the mandate is clear.
Our role is advisory and coordinating. Transaction proceeds, purchase prices and investment funds never flow through accounts of Interbridge Partners: payment flows run directly between the parties via banks, notaries or escrow agents. We receive only our agreed advisory fee.
Interbridge Partners is not a bank, securities firm or asset manager and is not authorised or supervised by FINMA. We do not provide asset management, portfolio management or investment advice, we do not recommend financial instruments, and we do not accept, hold or transfer client funds or hold powers of disposal over client accounts.
Our services are corporate advisory services relating to strategic, entrepreneurial transactions. They do not constitute investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell financial instruments within the meaning of the Swiss Financial Services Act (FinSA).
Every conversation begins under confidentiality. If it does not lead to a mandate, nothing about it leaves the room.
