Five Values, One Philosophy

Our member firms are present in each major financial centre worldwide.

Whether in Germany, USA, Italy or Japan, our member firms are united by the GCG philosophy and values.

Respect

GCG fosters diversity and inclusion.

Our member firms can rely upon the support of fellow members from all over the world, and also benefit from the cultural exchange that comes from treating each other with utmost respect at any time.

Appreciating cultural differences is a strong added value within our global network.

Integrity

Successful business is based on trust.

Our member firms support their clients with integrity and by providing objective and independent professional advice to help them making intelligent business decisions.

GCG members adhere to the highest professional and ethical principles, as it is expected by their reputable clients.

Competence

Professional excellence is one of our foremost principles, which is fostered by GCG throughout the whole GCG framework.

Our member firms are able to deliver M&A services of the highest quality, aiming at continuous clients' satisfaction, improvement of services, and development of the firms' future leaders.

Passion

We are passionate about managing and developing our global alliance.

GCG has fully dedicated staff, which we believe is paramount in order to professionally manage the organisation. We love to meet our members and to present GCG to new candidate firms.

We always put our members first, supporting them with addressing their clients' needs and with fostering the exchange of best practices within our global network.

Independence

Each GCG member firm worldwide retain their full independence whilst at the same time being able to leverage the international footprint of GCG.

We strongly believe that only an organisation of genuinely independent member firms is able to meet the many challenges faced by businesses in today's expanding markets.

Although every member firm is unique and independent, the same high quality standards apply to each.

Multi-disciplinary approach

GCG is a one-stop-shop for core business knowledges.

Our member firm can rely on the direct connection to the GGI Global Alliance and to its hundreds of professional services firms present worldwide. GGI members can support the GCG M&A advisers with any transactional service requirements needed for their deal execution.

Services

M&A Sell-Side

Selling a business is a complex operation which involves several factors. The reasons for selling are many: retirement, partnership disputes, exploring new challenges, boredom, and so on, but in any case the timing of the sale, the strength of the business' operation and its structure need to be taken into consideration. GCG experts assist their clients by building a solid plan and by finding potential buyers even in different jurisdictions via a strong network of M&A advisers and investment bankers worldwide, as global M&A trends point to increasing cross-border deal volume.

M&A Buy-Side

Successful mergers and acquisitions start by defining an acquisition strategy and conducting a target search. GCG experts focus on potential M&A candidates while allowing clients to continue their day-to-day business. Clients of GCG experts benefit from strong teams of M&A advisers and investment bankers who can support them all the way from search to valuation/due diligence to integration.

Fundraising

Businesses need capital to work. GCG experts assist their clients in making the right decisions with regard to managing capital and transactions strategically, ensuring they are always prepared in a rapidly changing global environment. Finance is a key factor in enabling any business to grow and corporate finance today is more flexible than ever. GCG experts can help with all matters related to innovative alternative finance options and with developing the right financial solutions throughout the whole transaction process, from financial strategy to the implementation of projects. A successful IPO calls for intensive professional preparation and this process takes up major business resources. Professional support in accounting, budgeting and controlling, finance, tax and business law, corporate governance and project management may be required. GCG experts provide an interdisciplinary consultancy approach at all stages, working with clients to generate the highest return from going public.

Strategy

Strategic decisions can have a major impact on businesses and their stakeholders. They can also affect organisational structures, processes, technology and staff. Execution of strategy requires a sound foundation, as well as courage. GCG experts can help to develop individual concepts and strategies for growing a business and accessing new markets. They can also create business models and address issues related to internationalisation, succession planning, restructuring, and turnaround.

Our objectives

For firms and companies alike, forging international business relationships is paramount in order to be competitive in today's global markets.

Our objective is to be able to provide our member firms world wide - as well as their clients - with a one-stop solution through which they can access outstanding full-scope M&A services within a single organisation. Establishing and nurturing relationships abroad is instrumental in understanding country-specific regulations and business practices, as cross-border activities always require detailed local consultation.

At GCG, we provide such immediate access and knowledge via our reputable member firms, which are recognised as leaders in their particular field:  large enough to address any clients' cross-border needs whilst maintaining flexibility and personal approach.
