Private equity

Private equity firms have gained considerable importance over the last 20 years; competition for attractive targets and purchase prices have risen. Professional, structured and competitive sale processes are now common practice, especially in the mid- and large-cap segment; private equity firms must face this competition or avoid it through innovative approaches to meet their investors' return expectations. As one of the leading advisors to the Mittelstand, and since its foundation, CA Strategy has advised private equity firms across the entire deal cycle – from identifying attractive market segments and acquisition search to extensive due diligence projects, realising value creation levers, exit strategy and support with the sale of a company.

  • Identifying attractive market segments – analysis of market size, growth, competition and margins as the basis for investment decisions
  • Acquisition search – systematic identification, approach and assessment of suitable target companies
  • Commercial due diligence – independent review of market, competition and revenue prospects ahead of a purchase
  • Growth strategies & value creation – strategy workshops, financial modelling and operational support during the holding period
  • Exit strategy & sale of a company – preparing the sale process with a sharpened equity story and a solid business plan

Trade fair & event organisers

Trade fairs are complex projects with high demands on planning, organisation and profitability. We help trade fair companies and event organisers sharpen their strategic direction, optimise operations and unlock new growth.

Our goal: fairs and events that inspire visitors, convince exhibitors and are economically sustainable. Past clients include NürnbergMesse, trendfairs and Leipziger Messe.
