COMPANY SALES
We have a proven track record in corporate mergers and acquisitions in selling to Finnish and international buyers, which we identify based on our experience and through our extensive Finnish and international M&A contacts.
Our commitment not only involves completing transactions but working on business planning and exit strategy.
We take great care to understand our client’s business, so that we can assist them in maximizing shareholder value and with our wealth of experience, we can make sure our clients make the right strategic moves ahead of an exit.
Our work on exit strategy can start several years before the sales process and involve identifying issues within the business and agreeing a strategy to make the business more attractive to prospective purchasers.
Running a robust and efficient process generating competitive tension while maintaining confidentiality will get you the best possible results.
All our mandates are partner-led. Every is important to us, whether it is big or small. We do not shy away from complexity or even the most challenging assignments but summon up our courage and always pursue the exceptional outcome for our clients.
ACQUISITIONS
Achieving organic growth is tough. Corporate acquisitions can significantly accelerate growth and add shareholder value – if they are made on the right terms and underpinned by a clear strategic rationale and a well-defined integration plan.
We have worked closely with several corporate clients on buy-side assignments in Finland and internationally and have identified many attractive acquisition opportunities for our clients through our significant network of contacts and research capabilities.
Once the suitable acquisition candidate has been found, we assist you on approach and in evaluation of the target, including valuation analysis, coordination of the due diligence review, transaction financing, integration planning while providing negotiation support on the transaction.

FAIRNESS OPINIONS
A fairness opinion is a professional evaluation conducted by a financial advisory firm to assess whether the terms of a specific financial transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, are fair from a financial point of view for the parties involved. These opinions are typically sought by boards of directors or shareholders to ensure that the proposed transaction is fair and in the best interests of the company and its stakeholders.
Origo’s partner Jussi Majamaa has an extensive background in providing fairness opinions for instance to Boards of public companies concerning a public offer or minority owners concerning valuation in a directed issue.
