Private Enterprise

Starting a business is exciting – but also complex. We provide the support, strength and confidence you need as a new business or startup to accelerate your business’ growth. We support founders, executives and private market leaders with strategic guidance, confidence and resources.

We cover everything from advising on the right corporate and ownership structure, tax-related considerations, soft funding and possible use of the Danish tax credit scheme, among others.

Whether your business is established and has ambitions for future growth or just recently was incorporated, we work alongside you to explore opportunities to grow your business and strengthen your operations.

From organic expansion and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to entering new markets, preparing for an IPO, or scaling globally, we are ready to help you take the next step toward sustainable, profitable growth.

Whether you are ready to sell your business, go public or implement a succession plan, we are ready to support you! We help you to find and execute the right plan of action for you and your business, so you can move forward with confidence.

• Selling your business: Helping you get the most out of the process and supporting you on defining your expectations, identifying and prioritizing potential buyers.
  
  
• Going public: Helping you weigh the benefits of increased market visibility and prestige against the complexities of new regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations. We work with you to ensure you are well informed, well prepared, and confident in deciding whether an IPO is the right move for your business.
  
  
• Planning a succession: Guiding you through the complexities of business succession. Succession can be one of the most challenging decisions for a business owner and starting early is critical for a smooth transition. We support you every step of the way – from making decisions and developing transition timelines to helping your successor take on his or her new role.
  
  
• M&A tax: Whether you are contemplating an acquisition, a merger or restructuring, you will need to understand the relevant tax issues. No matter where you are in your lifecycle, we are here to support your endeavors. Read more about M&A tax here.

Running a family business needs unique support, as the nature of a family business is inherently different from a non-family business and requires an approach that considers the family component.

Strategic decisions such as expanding, selling the business or transferring ownership often involve complex legal, financial and personal considerations. Without a defined plan, key opportunities can be missed and risks underestimated. We support family-owned businesses with the insight and structure needed to make informed decisions at every stage.

Through our global network, we ensure access to relevant expertise, the latest news, market trends, and data that addresses both the business and family dimensions and keeps you well informed.

We assist with a wide range of services, including:

• Mergers and acquisitions (M&A): Identifying synergies, risks and financing options to effectively realize your growth ambitions, even with infrequent acquisition opportunities.
  
  
• Business sale: From clarifying your expectations and identifying suitable buyers to managing preparations, evaluating bids, overseeing due diligence, and guiding the transaction to achieve the best possible outcome.
  
  
• Succession process: Supporting you and your family with confidential advice on navigating key decisions, avoiding conflicts, and preparing both the timeline and successor to ensure a successful transition.
  
  
• Exit strategy: Supporting you in developing and executing an exit strategy when no next-generation family members are ready or able to take over your business. We guide you through the available options and assist with the transaction process.
