KNABBEN & CO. PRIVATE EQUITY
Onze Werkwijze
A discreet seven-step approach to reviewing investments, participations, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships.
Approach
A measured path from first contact to closing.
Our process is intentionally selective and may vary by opportunity, but it typically follows a disciplined sequence from introduction to implementation.
01
Introduction
A first conversation to understand the business, the owners, and the objective.
02
Initial review
A preliminary view on strategic fit, financial quality, and ownership context.
03
Analysis
A closer look at value, structure, risks, and the practical path forward.
04
Dialogue
A deeper discussion of possible structures, priorities, and expectations.
Evaluation
A financial and strategic lens.
Where relevant, we review financial performance, management quality, growth potential, capital needs, and how the opportunity may be structured.
Five to seven
The later stages
Due diligence
A more detailed review of financial, operational, legal, and fiscal matters.
Structuring
Discussion of possible investment terms and transaction design.
Advisors
Legal, tax, and other specialists may support the process where needed.
Closing and follow-up
Implementation, handover, and possible post-transaction alignment.
The process can differ by opportunity.
This is a general approach, not a fixed sequence for every situation. Each proposal is reviewed on its own merits and in its own context.
