M&As and corporate finance consulting – for international corporations, medium-sized enterprises and private equity companies:
Allow us to advise you – based on a closer understanding and a clear focus on your wishes.
We’re quick. We’re agile. And our services are a 100% match with your requirements. As an owner-managed corporate finance boutique, that just about sums up KP Tech when it comes to M&A consulting, corporate succession and private equity consulting in Europa. What’s made us so different to other consulting companies for the past 20 years or more? For a start, we have a detailed and in-depth understanding of markets. And we use highly innovative AI technology. But also, at KP Tech only the owners or associate partners take care of your project. Personally. So nothing gets handed down the hierarchy. Nothing’s made complicated. Just like you’d expect from a close friend.
It doesn’t get more efficient, more personal or closer than this.
The closer, the more focused
We only work on a small number of M&A projects at one time. Why? So we can concentrate 100% on your requirements.
The benefit to you: quick solutions.
The closer, the more outstanding
Our senior consultants take care of everything to do with your transaction personally. This means you have a single point of contact – with someone who works with you in a partnership of equals.
The benefit to you: access to a wealth of experience, spanning the entire project chain.
The closer, the more successful
This lean approach means we never lose sight of one crucial detail when it comes to your projects: your requirements.
The benefit to you: M&A advice that fits like a glove, as you’d expect from a good old friend.

Whether you’re a successful SME, an international group of companies or a private equity company on a strong path to growth – at KP Tech Corporate Finance, the only people you rub shoulders with are our top-level M&A consultants. And that counts from the word go, until successful completion of your project.

Listening and understanding:
Two factors we consider central to every successful M&A project.
You can expect the M&A process to start with us investing plenty of time. Time for you to sit down and go through things with a small number of people. Time with people who understand other people and the motivations that drive them. You’ll see no standard recipes. And we never pigeonhole. Because every business is as unique as the entrepreneurs who made it what it is today.
