Saxenhammer has expanded into Switzerland by opening its first office in Zurich, in response to the increasing pressures faced by Swiss SMEs.
The Zurich office aims to provide tailored M&A advice to Swiss SMEs, bridging the gap between them and the broader DACH investment region.
Andreas Pöllen, the Managing Director of the Zurich office, brings a wealth of experience in corporate finance and M&A. His mandate is to deliver customized solutions for Swiss SMEs in critical areas such as valuation, succession planning, acquisitions, sales, and financing.
Saxenhammer positions itself as a counterbalance to larger investment banks and private equity firms, focusing on M&A transactions within the CHF 10 to 100 million range.
The landscape of SME financing is shifting away from traditional banks towards alternative financing providers, and Saxenhammer aims to fill the gap left by Credit Suisse's departure from the SME financing sector.
The firm's focus is on understanding the specific needs of Swiss SMEs and providing tailored solutions in valuation, succession, acquisitions, sales, and financing.
Saxenhammer combines local expertise with international experience to offer comprehensive advice to its clients. By addressing the unique challenges faced by local businesses, Saxenhammer aims to make a significant impact on the future of SME financing in Switzerland.
