Our Services

Lenzo Partners advises on the full range of corporate finance transactions that may affect the ownership structure of a company and the position of its shareholders: sale, acquisitions, fundraising, LBOs and special situations, including capital structure restructurings in more complex contexts.

M&A

M&A transactions are at the core of our activity. We act exclusively on behalf of shareholders and companies, with a level of involvement that goes well beyond mere introductions.

Sale

We advise selling shareholders throughout the disposal process: analysis of strategic options, preparation of the company for sale, identification and approach of potential acquirers, organisation of the competitive or bilateral process, and conducting negotiations through to closing.

Maximising value requires a deep understanding of the company's strategic and financial prospects, as well as the value of its intangible assets — brand, intellectual property, client references. Our role is to build a targeted presentation, tailored to the specific logic of each potential acquirer, so as to generate the best possible competitive tension.

Our objective is not solely to achieve the best valuation, but to structure a transaction whose terms — financial, legal and governance — are well-controlled and sustainable over time.

LBO / MBO / MBI

An LBO is a powerful tool for business transfer and value creation, but one whose structuring has lasting implications for the company and its shareholders. We advise shareholders and management teams in defining and implementing the optimal structure, integrating the equity, financing — including structured finance such as mezzanine — and governance dimensions. We accompany them through negotiations with financial investors and lenders, through to closing.

Buy-side advisory

We advise acquirers — executives, shareholders or companies — in their external growth projects: target definition and acquisition thesis, approach and initial contacts, support from the letter of intent through to final negotiation and closing. Our role is to structure the acquisition process rigorously while preserving the company's relationship of trust with its target's management.

Fundraising

The entry of an investor into a company's capital is a defining milestone, which durably alters the balance of power, governance and liquidity prospects for existing shareholders. We advise companies and their shareholders in defining their needs, identifying the most relevant investors — private equity funds, family offices, strategic investors — and negotiating the terms of the transaction.

We believe that as an entrepreneur, your priority is executing your company's strategy, driving commercial development and making decisions — not drafting business plans, financial models or marketing documents, nor closely reviewing contractual documentation. This is precisely where we step in: taking charge of these dimensions with rigour, in close coordination with your teams, keeping you informed at every stage and always under your control.
