Weissknight was established to meet the demand of companies looking for independent advices on company valuation and for specific investment banking services.
We advise European companies, shareholders, managers & entrepreneurs through their corporate lifecycle, mainly via company valuation analysis, private placement (equity+debt), LBO / MBO / OBO, and cross-border M&A transactions.

We are dedicated to bring together European companies and financial investors to maximise private placement process (both VCs and PE), based either in London, in France, in Germany, all of the western European countries and in the USA.

Our financial engineering focus allows us to complete complex transactions and to structure any minority or majority LBO / MBO / OBO transactions which will represent most of the corporate finance transactions in 2010, according to us.

On the M&A side, we advise our clients on cross-border problematics. For example a UK company willing to make an acquisition or to realise a build-up strategy in France or Germany (M&A - buy-side); or vice-versa European shareholders willing to sell their company for maximum value, using our cross-border service from London (M&A - sell-side). In today’s complex and evolving financial markets, we remove the burden of exploring specialised transaction – don’t start a complex process without the best representation.

Our unique positioning in Europe represents a real alternative to the traditional investment banks for any corporate finance transactions worth between € 5m. to € 200m.
