Mergers & Acquisitions

Ownership decisions deserve disciplined analysis

A sale, acquisition or new shareholder changes control, risk and the future of the company. ERAM Invest supports owners and buyers in assessing alternatives, preparing the financial case, managing diligence and negotiating transaction economics.

For sellers and shareholders

We assess valuation and readiness, clarify whether a minority sale, majority sale, full exit or succession structure best meets the objective, prepare transaction materials and support a controlled process with qualified counterparties.

For buyers

We develop acquisition criteria, assess targets, build valuation and funding models, coordinate diligence and support offer terms and financial negotiations.

Where ERAM Invest may be the buyer

If ERAM Invest itself considers an investment or acquisition, we disclose that role and do not present ourselves as an independent sell-side adviser in the same transaction.

The parties should obtain separate advice as appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you act for buyers or sellers?

Both, but never on the same transaction. We act sponsor-side — representing your interests in every engagement with counterparties, lenders and advisers — and conflict considerations are documented before work begins.

How is a business valued in the Western Balkans?

Typically on EBITDA multiples benchmarked against regional comparables, cross-checked with discounted cash flow and, for asset-heavy businesses, net asset value. Buyer competition and process discipline are what move the outcome.

How long does an M&A process take?

Sell-side and buy-side timelines differ, and buy-side depends on target availability. Preparation quality is the single biggest variable — incomplete financials are the most common cause of delay.

Will you approach buyers confidentially?

Yes. Buyer outreach runs under NDA using anonymised teasers, so your identity is only disclosed to screened parties who have signed confidentiality undertakings.
