By combining financial expertise with soft values, we ensure that transactions are not only completed — but that partnerships begin on strong and fair terms.

Analysis and perspective.
Structural observations, sector analysis and commentary from active mandates. Authored by partner.
01 Market
Nordic M&A market on the rise — why 2026 may be the right time for an ownership transition
The median Nordic multiple rose to 12.9x EBITDA in 2025 — up from 8.4x the year before. With PE capital at record levels and a stabilised rate environment, a window is opening that hasn't existed for years.
02 Succession
210,000 business owners approaching retirement — is your company ready?
A recent report shows that 64,000 Swedish companies with nearly 190,000 employees are led by someone over 65. Yet 7 out of 10 lack a formal plan. We outline what a successful generational transition requires.
03 Private equity
Buy-and-build dominates Nordic PE — what it means for business owners
82 per cent of all PE deals in the Nordics in 2025 were add-on acquisitions. We analyse what the trend means for mid-sized Swedish companies — as a potential platform or as an add-on candidate.
