Consulting scope

Our Consulting in Detail

From financing and due diligence to organisation: this is how AGATHON supports companies in practice – with its own team and, where required, specialised external experts.

Commercial Financing

We structure capital requirements, use of funds, financing components and repayment. This includes selecting suitable financing routes, preparing the documentation and accompanying the negotiations.

  • Bank loans
  • Public funding
  • Leasing
  • Factoring
  • Mezzanine
  • Equity capital
  • Project finance
  • Real estate
  • Succession

Start-ups & Business Plans

A business plan must convincingly combine market, business model, capital requirements, earnings mechanics and risks. We develop robust plans for banks, investors and business partners.

Compliance Review & Due Diligence

We structure economic and operational reviews, put information into context and make risks visible. AGATHON does not provide compliance consulting and does not develop compliance structures. Legal and tax reviews remain reserved for qualified external professionals.

Technical Consulting

From plant, construction and production issues to IT, digitalisation and technical due diligence: we assemble the right project team and combine technology with economic viability.

Strategy & Management Consulting

Together with management, we develop comprehensible goals, priorities and measures. On request, we support implementation and check whether the intended effect is actually achieved.

Reorganisation

We examine structures, decision paths and interfaces and develop an organisation that fits the actual business model and the next phase of the company.

Coaching & Management Sparring

Managing directors need a neutral sparring partner who examines options, questions assumptions and also addresses uncomfortable issues. Direct, confidential and without theoretical detours.

Risk Management & Cyber Threats

We treat cyber risks as a business issue: production, delivery capability, communication, data, liability and reputational risks are assessed and prioritised together.
