Schedule a call How our vetting works

Mid-market deals in Greece and Cyprus rarely come with an investment bank attached, so an owner or a first-time buyer ends up negotiating against professionals. An M&A advisor evens that out: someone who runs the process and the negotiation, on your side and only yours. Most mandates start with one of these:

An owner selling the company they built, often for the first and only time
A first serious acquisition for a corporate, in Greece, Cyprus or abroad
A family selling a stake to a fund or a strategic buyer
An approach out of the blue that needs answering properly

The M&A advisors on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals from Big 4 transaction services, top consultancies and senior industry deal roles. They work alongside your lawyers and auditors and know how deals here move: family ownership, local filings and buyers who take their time.

What does an m&A advisor actually do?

Prepare the company and its story before any buyer sees a page
Ground the valuation in the numbers and comparable deals, not hope
Find and approach buyers or targets in Greece, Cyprus and abroad
Run the process: information flow, deadlines and competitive tension
Negotiate price and terms through to signing
Keep lawyers, auditors and diligence teams on one timetable
