Drawing upon our own entrepreneurial experience

Thanks to our comprehensive understanding of our clients’ business we are able to achieve outstanding results. All the partners and employees of Round One have entrepreneurial experience, having themselves previously established and managed companies. It is this entrepreneurial experience which fundamentally distinguishes us from our competitors and attests to our particular credibility on the following topics:

• understanding of the markets and their products, technologies and the competition
• the strategic positioning of a company in the run-up to a transaction
• the challenges presented by a transaction for operational business
• access to possible purchasers and investors in the respective industry
• the owners’ perspective
• motivation of the management

Delivering outstanding quality

Our standards of quality in both the preparatory work and execution apply to all transactions. Every day, we measure ourselves against the best in our field. Irrespective of the size of the transaction, we provide our clients with the quality of service which, as a rule, they would only receive from other Investment Banks for larger transactions: comprehensive advice backed up by high-quality analyses and a wealth of experience.

Doing business with integrity

The fact that Round One is managed by its owners and is not tied to any particular bank means that we are able to focus exclusively on the interests of our clients. It is our objective to establish trust and a long-term business relationship with our clients. Our clients’ trust is renewed with each transaction thanks to a combination of complete and competent advice, the highest level of discretion and integrity. In addition, we provide advice independently of the individual transaction, as we do not just focus on achieving a ‚Äòquick deal’, but on the overall interests of our client.
