We are financing experts and we know how banks think.
After years together at the FU Berlin and the Bürgschaftsbank, we have been working as management consultants for over 20 years. We are enthusiastic about exciting companies and ideas − and the people behind them. We see ourselves as a link between entrepreneurs, companies and the financial world. Both of us are very good at sounding out how a start-up or growth concept and financing can work. We also have gained experience with many successful companies. This knowledge is the basis for a wealth of ideas and the right implementation in practice.

How we work.
Positive mindset
We believe in the visionary power of our clients − and that good entrepreneurship can move the world forward. This is just one of the reasons we approach each of our mandates with curiosity and enthusiasm. We explore ideas, recognize potential and see ourselves as enablers: together we want to make a difference.
Honest exchange
In order for us to recognize the levers of success, we rely on mutual openness and transparency in our collaboration. Is the business plan promising? Is financing reasonable and possible? Where are the opportunities, where are the risks? You can rely on our analysis. We stand by our statements. Even if it hurts.
Measurable quality
We keep our eyes on the goal and focus on tangible results. Our work is characterized by a clear structure, a focus on the essentials and efficient processes: keep it simple. Whatever the challenge − we want to find effective solutions. Our talent for structuring is particularly evident in complex environments.
Strategic approach
We know how banks think and what decision-making basis they need for their work. That’s why we can appreciate the full scope of every financing project and work with our clients to find the best way to make a successful investment. We define the drivers of success, translate visions into figures and create resilient, convincing business plans.
Fair cooperation
In our work, we focus on the interests and objectives of various stakeholders. Companies, banks and public funding agencies are among our long-standing partners, and we value this trusting and binding cooperation. As an experienced link between the two worlds, we facilitate a change of perspective and mutual understanding between all the parties involved.
