Independent M&A advisory · Poland & CEE · For owners
A company sale begins long before the first investor conversation.
We help owners prepare the company and themselves for one of their most important business decisions — while preserving confidentiality, process control and negotiating leverage.
Schedule a confidential conversation↗For owners
When should preparation begin?
Ideally before time pressure starts shaping decisions. Even when a transaction is two or three years away, an early assessment creates room to strengthen readiness, reduce risk and preserve more options for the owner.
The right investor
Price matters. So does the company’s future.
We search beyond financial terms, assessing how well an investor fits the company’s character and the owner’s ambitions. The objective is to create the conditions for continued growth while respecting the brand, the team’s capabilities and the market position built over time.
Brand and relationships
Can the investor develop the brand, customer relationships and market position without weakening the sources of advantage?
Team and culture
Does the investor see the team as an asset and create room for people, capabilities and responsibility to develop?
Capital and capabilities
Can the investor bring the resources, experience and time horizon required for the next stage?
Fit
Profile of companies we work with
Protectimo focuses on mature, profitable owner-managed companies typically generating annual revenue of EUR 10–100 million.
Every situation is assessed individually. A smaller company may be an attractive transaction opportunity when it has a distinctive position, strong profitability, recurring revenue or consolidation potential.
Scope of support
Owner objectives
We clarify expectations around value, scope, timing and the owner’s potential role after closing.
Company readiness
We assess data quality, the business model, management, owner dependence, and legal and tax risks.
Value protection
We identify factors that can support value or become arguments for a price reduction.
Investor fit
We build and prioritise the investor universe by value, growth strategy, approach to the brand and team, and ability to sustain development.
How we work
From the owner’s decision to a controlled closing.
