Industrial M&A Advisory

M&A, external growth and value creation for the Italian mid-market.

FINCAV supports entrepreneurs, investors and industrial operators in M&A, external growth and value creation projects, with a confidential, selective and industrially grounded approach.

Selective approach
Structured transaction method, applied to entrepreneurial SMEs.

Value is not created by widening the process, but by building the right dialogue with the right counterparties.

Positioning

Process quality for companies that do not want market exposure.

FINCAV brings method, confidentiality and process quality typical of structured transactions to SMEs and entrepreneurial businesses requiring a proportionate, selective and non-public approach.

The work combines industrial understanding, counterparty selection and discipline in the preliminary phase: before launching a process, the strategic rationale is clarified.

01

M&A Advisory

Buy-side and sell-side support for acquisitions, disposals, partnerships, capital solutions and succession situations.

02

Industrial transactions

Carve-outs, business units, add-ons and complex perimeters where operational understanding is an essential part of value.

03

Value Creation

Targeted supply chain optimization programmes, spend-category analysis, contract renegotiation and saving sharing, with measurable benefits and result-oriented remuneration.

Method

A restricted, progressive and controlled process.

Each project is structured around the required level of confidentiality, avoiding broad distribution or counterparties that are not consistent with the company profile.

Preliminary framing

Assessment of industrial rationale, owner or investor objectives and confidentiality requirements.

Selective preparation

Definition of the opportunity profile, sensitive issues and preliminary documentation.

Targeted activation

Limited involvement of counterparties consistent by size, sector, execution capability and strategic rationale.

Initial coordination

Support on NDAs, LOIs, information perimeter, preliminary due diligence and transition to the negotiation phase.

FINCAV operates with a generalist approach, while maintaining a natural vocation for manufacturing, technical and B2B businesses.

Network

Financial capital and industrial operators, activated selectively.

FINCAV does not use its network as a mailing list. Each involvement is assessed on the basis of industrial rationale, size compatibility, ownership profile, execution capability and confidentiality requirements.

Family offices

Patient capital focused on continuity, industrial value and a medium-long term horizon.

Funds

Financial investors active on platforms, add-ons, succession situations and growth projects.

Independent sponsors

Flexible operators often suitable for proprietary transactions and selective entrepreneurial situations.

Industrial groups

Strategic buyers interested in operations and supply-chain integration, new markets, products or production capacity.

Supply Chain Optimization

Spend categories, contract renegotiation and saving sharing.

FINCAV supports SMEs, investors and industrial operators in targeted operations and supply chain optimization programmes, focusing on recurring spend categories, strategic suppliers, logistics, contracts, purchasing terms and operational continuity.

The work starts from a structured spend analysis, identifies realistic saving opportunities and supports the renegotiation of economic and operating terms with suppliers, preserving quality, service and critical relationships.

On selected projects, remuneration may include a success-fee component calculated on a share of savings actually achieved, verified and documented against a shared baseline.

Spend analysis

Mapping of spend categories, key suppliers, contracts, volumes and recurring costs.

Prioritisation

Selection of areas with higher potential, lower operating risk and execution timing compatible with the organisation.

Renegotiation

Support in revising economic and operating terms, with benchmarking, alternatives and structured supplier dialogue.

Saving sharing

The variable component applies only to benefits actually achieved, verified and documented against the shared baseline.

A confidential discussion before any process.

An initial contact may take place without sharing sensitive information, target names or confidential financial data.
