The basis of all actions as a consulting company is the most accurate possible analysis of a project or company.
The better the credit rating, the more creditworthy the company, or the more favourable the conditions required for debt financing. The better the external rating, the more attractive your company is for business partners and customers. And, of course, also for investors. The data collected here is a very good instrument for making appropriate statements and deriving actions from them.
Auditors want to know whether the management is well positioned and whether the balance sheets and strategy are in order. To do this, entrepreneurs have to let them look at their cards. What is part of the daily bread for large companies is associated with discomfort for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Both balance sheet ratios and qualitative factors about the situation of your company flow into the rating result. Incidentally, this also depends on the legal form, the focus of activity, i.e. the economic sector. For example, the focus of a craftsman's business is different from that of a nationally active industrial company or a business start-up - and here the question is whether the company that receives money today will be able to pay it back tomorrow.
Even before the necessary rating, we show you the weak points before the bank employees enter the company to put the balance sheets, profit and loss accounts of the last few years, as well as judgements about market position, products and innovative strength, and the strategic energy emanating from the management, to the test.
We advise you and assess your company creditworthiness in advance. CONNex prepares you and carries out a check based on a multiple discrimination analysis, up to a full company rating, before the first RATING.
Researching suitable public funding requires a great deal of time and expertise.
Especially in our focus sectors, however, funding is always part of the financing plan. CONNex has a network of partners and information at its disposal that enable targeted funding tailored to your project. For entrepreneurs with other priorities in their core business, this is a very extensive task, for us it is daily business.

Private Equity (PE) is classified as an alternative asset class. Alternative asset classes pursue the goal of diversifying assets more strongly, reducing the probability of loss and improving the risk-return profile in the process. Private equity - in contrast to "public equity" - means nothing other than equity investments in privately managed, i.e. non-listed, mostly medium-sized companies (buy-out) or, to a lesser extent, in young companies (venture capital). Thus, private equity is an entrepreneurial asset class, which in its investment decisions at the company level is quite close to the day-to-day business of many entrepreneurs.
We focus on companies that have great economic potential and that demonstrate and enable the most sustainable value preservation possible, even in changing economic cycles. A close relationship with the management of your company is essential for us to face the new challenges together, so that any expansion project can be successfully completed together. The evaluation of potential is carried out according to a precisely defined procedure and highlights all aspects of future cooperation.
Larger projects are usually not easy to finance through banks.
Whether strategically or for reasons of return: Investors invest in a project for different reasons. It is important that they understand this project properly and can form a picture of their investment. Investors can be convinced by facts, figures and words: figures that prove that, for example, the proof of concept of an innovation or service has been provided, or that the figures in a business plan are plausible. On the other hand, as described, an investor must "understand" the project, i.e. he must STAND BY IT. An appropriate presentation can open doors.
Expansion into new markets, concentration on core competencies, generation change: there are many good reasons for transactions.
But every deal requires a very specific strategy. Careful analyses and business planning concepts form the basis for strategic decisions on mergers and acquisitions and are the business management tools of CONNex's strategy consultants. They support companies in initiating the right measures.
CONNex experts analyse the competitive environment and identify market trends. Together with the company, they develop a strategy at company or business unit level, find possible target companies, buyers or sellers and highlight opportunities and risks. They translate the strategies into robust business plans and develop a basis for decision-making so that a company can actively shape negotiations and bring the transaction to a swift and successful conclusion.
CONNex generates information on the strategic, operational and financial positioning of companies and determines which parts of the company contribute to value creation or destroy value. The latter can be restructured or sold in order to advance the core business with the freed-up funds. In the run-up to a transaction, they also evaluate the strategic options with regard to the acquisition of a target company and identify synergy potentials.
Support for the strategic realignment
Companies use CONNex's know-how to back up their strategic vision with facts and thus initiate the next necessary steps. Even in rapidly changing market or even crisis situations, companies can act with foresight and have experienced experts at their side. CONNex supports companies in strategic reorientation in various sectors, for example in the development of future strategies.
In addition, CONNex specialists advise companies on strategic decision-making. In doing so, CONNex analyses value drivers and points out options for action, recommendations as well as their opportunities and risks. Examples range from investment advice to tax optimisation strategies or the choice of legal forms.
Strategic consulting also includes the development of viable concepts for restructuring companies - even in crisis situations. The course described is typically accompanied by a negation of the crisis by the responsible managers. Often they do not react until the earnings crisis or even the liquidity crisis. However, the chance of a successful corporate restructuring decreases rapidly from one stage to the next. Once the company's financing partners have been alerted, it becomes increasingly difficult to overcome the crisis on one's own. In this respect, the best way to combat a crisis is to recognise it at an early stage and take countermeasures. CONNex supports your company in every stage of the crisis, if necessary.
A fast, coordinated and parallel processing of different work strands is crucial in order to establish a diagnosis of the causes within the shortest possible time. At the same time, we form a transparent and proactive communication with the main groups interested in the company (stakeholders). In addition to operational crisis management including cash management and planning, as well as working capital management, we develop the recovery plan together with you.
Advice for renewable energy and environmental projects
The market for renewable energies, but also for environmentally relevant projects from the waste and water management sectors, has developed into a significant and rapidly growing economic sector. The framework conditions have improved significantly in almost all European and international markets.
This development offers new opportunities to all investors, manufacturers and project developers as well as operators. At the same time, however, the requirements for professional, technical and economic project presentation are also increasing, especially with regard to project financing, with large-scale projects requiring international financing solutions.
The size of the projects becomes a financial challenge
Projects in the field of renewable energies are increasingly reaching scales where conventional financing solutions reach their limits. What is required is the application of structures and processes known internationally from the financing of large-scale projects to an innovative environment. Project financing" is a suitable and internationally accepted financing instrument for this purpose. Project financing defines the project as an independent economic entity ("project company") that finances itself solely on the basis of the cash flow generated in the future, with no or only limited liability on the part of the equity provider for loan repayment. In order to meet the requirements of project financing, in addition to technical and economic feasibility, resilient financing structures and risk factors must be demonstrated in a complex process
