Cor­po­rate Consulting

From entre­pre­neur to entrepreneur.

Our cor­po­rate con­sult­ing ser­vices pro­vide our clients with sup­port for opti­mal plan­ning of their over­all tax, finan­cial, and/​or legal situation.

We also offer entre­pre­neurs sup­port for estab­lish­ing new com­pa­nies and for rais­ing fresh cap­i­tal by prepar­ing busi­ness plans, sales and prof­itabil­i­ty fore­casts, and devel­op­ing liq­uid­i­ty plans.

In terms of cor­po­rate issues, one of our focal points is advis­ing our clients on invest­ment and financ­ing deci­sions, such as buy­ing or leas­ing, and factoring.

Help­ing our clients with bank rat­ing pro­ce­dures asso­ci­at­ed with Basel II is anoth­er one of our priorities.
