Our Services
Strategy
Xelium works with clients to design and implement strategic planning on corporate, business and functional level.
Leveraging our expertise in Life Science we help clients to develop a business plan tailored to the needs of certain stakeholders such as employees, management, board and investors.
Identifying growth opportunities beyond an existing, well established business portfolio or commercialisation of new technologies requires an outside-in view and perhaps new relationships to customers and industry stakeholders. Assessment of technologies, business models, and market potential is supported by quantitative and qualitative market research.
Business Development
Xelium supports the evaluation process of new business areas in terms of commercial feasibility studies and market attractiveness assessment, facilitated by approaching new customers with regards to potential business opportunities.
Xelium is available to help with certain aspects, consisting of portfolio analysis, due diligence management, project management, company/product valuation, negotiation support, market entry support, sector and peer group analysis.
Based on the fluctuating client needs and capacity constraints we support with interim management.
With non-executive board representations we are helping clients with relationships, network and expertise in M&A and Business Development.
Sell-side Advisory
Corporate divestment decisions are caused by succession planning, change of strategic direction and exit considerations of financial investors.
Based on a trusted and sensible relationship with our clients we support navigating the deal life cycle from strategic option development, valuation considerations, due diligence management to negotiation of transaction contracts.
We help clients to raise growth capital in close collaboration with strategic, institutional and financial investors.
Buy-side Advisory
Accelerating business growth, expansion in adjacent technologies and markets, are predominantly driving the desire for product, technology and company acquisitions.
Leveraging our market, technical and commercial knowledge we engage with clients to develop a tailored external growth strategy, acquisition candidate screening, profiling, approach and support of the transaction process.
