What we offer
Infima has, through many years of work in management, M&A, and due diligence processes, gained experience that is highly relevant and valuable for most companies. We have developed specific methods that we know contribute to value creation in the most critical areas for a company's development.
DEVELOPING A PLAN FOR GROWTH AND VALUE CREATION
We all know how important growth is for progress and value creation. But how do you formulate an optimal growth strategy for your company? Infima has developed a methodology to find a balance between organic growth and growth through business development and/or acquisitions (M&A). It is essential to consider both the business platform you have and how it can and should be developed to ensure that the overall strategy and objectives are realistic. There are many pitfalls here, and most stumble.

Infima can offer both an aerial view of the entire company to see the big picture and opportunities, and a concrete growth strategy where we emphasize opportunities and conditions for growth through business development or acquisitions (M&A). Here, portfolio optimization and financing are key elements. Our experience enables us to focus on what is important, thus conducting a very efficient and action-oriented study.
DIVESTMENTS
We assist clients with the planning, structuring and execution of the sale of companies, shares or assets, including carve-outs, to maximize the price within the seller’s priorities. We prepare key documentation, manage the contact with potential buyers and provide negotiation support. We tailor the sales process to each client’s particular needs and situation. 

We ensure that the values and upsides are visible in order to position the seller in the best possible negotiating position. Good preparation is key.

Our advisers have long industrial management experience and many years of experience from various types of sales processes. In these processes, objective advice and focus on client's best interests are always our first and foremost priority.
PREPARATION FOR SALE OR PARTNER SEARCH
If you are considering selling the company within the next 2-3 years or bringing in a partner, you should start planning now. A lot of value can be created by preparing a company and an organization for changes in ownership. Often, some minor adjustments need to be made, ranging from strategy changes to accounting reporting. We know what buyers are looking for and what increases or decreases value.

The work should start while you have the opportunity to make sensible changes. Infima has developed a methodology to gain an aerial view of the entire company to see the big picture and opportunities. Our experience enables us to focus on what is relevant, thus conducting a very efficient and action-oriented study. We can assure you that this will be a good investment for you.
PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS
What surprises us most when we work with a new company is the lack of knowledge about where the company makes money and where it loses money, - and why.

Very few owners ask themselves if they are the right owner of parts of their company.

When we look at the company with its markets, products, and services, it consists of a portfolio of businesses, where it is possible to reallocate resources or to sell or discontinue in order to focus more on where the company makes money and has the conditions to create the most value.

A profitability analysis provides a good basis for strategic work and prioritization within the company.
JOINT VENTURE ESTABLISHMENT
To establish a joint venture with a selected partner can be a good way of accessing the Chinese market. Due to cultural and economic differences, small and medium sized companies are dependent on local partners to succeed in this market. 

Infima assists clients in the identification of joint venture partners and help them through a well-proven process to develop the business model and strategy for the joint venture set-up. 

Because of Infima’s industry knowledge and network in China, we have been involved in several partner searches, Business Feasibility Studies, JV contract negotiations and establishment of joint venture companies between European clients and Chinese partners.
NEW CEO OR NEW BOARD MEMBERS?
It is challenging to enter a new company as a CEO or board member. There is much to learn and it can be difficult to gain the comprehensive overview necessary to prioritize time, focus, and resources effectively.

It is also a significant advantage if the management and the board share the same understanding of the company's reality. This alignment makes it much easier to focus on the right issues.

Infima has developed a methodology to create an aerial view of the entire company to see the big picture and opportunities. Our experience allows us to focus on what is important, thereby conducting a very efficient study tailored to introduce a new CEO or new board members to the company's challenges and to quickly get started. This study will also contribute to a shared agenda and goals for the board and management.
HEALTH CHECK
Infima has developed an important new product: Infima's 9-Point Health Check. A check of the company's health has become highly relevant due to the significant changes happening in the world around us. The world has never been more uncertain. What do these changes mean for you? What will be the most important issues to address?

The board and executive team will soon set a prioritized agenda for 2025 and beyond. It is essential to look at the big picture, ensuring that financial, market, and operational aspects are assessed and analyzed. Every company should regularly perform a check and status review of the company's health. 

A health check should be on the agenda of every leadership team and board. With a health check, the company gains a solid foundation to address its most important challenges and opportunities.
MERGERS
We assist clients in finding merger partners and provide advice on process, structure, organization, negotiations and valuations. Infima has comprehensive financial and industrial experience related to mergers, which in reality are acquisitions between equal partners.

But even if mergers share many of the same characteristics and success factors as acquisitions, they also include much more, which make them more challenging. Our combined financial and industrial experience, including management experience from similar processes, help us add value to our clients.  
STRATEGY WORK
Most companies struggle to develop effective strategies that contribute to value creation. Strategies often become an extension of current operations, lacking clear priorities or concrete action plans. The most important aspect of strategies is that the goals are tailored to the company's resources and expertise, and that there are concrete action plans in place to be executed. Additionally, the strategy must be known, understood, and supported by the organization.

Infima has a methodology to quickly gain an aerial view of the company, challenge the organization on key areas, and conduct a process that involves the organization and ensures necessary commitment. The result is concrete action plans and a structured follow-up process.

Infima has also specific expertise in developing strategies within Digital business and Data/AI driven business opportunities and development.
VALUATION
A company valuation can serve multiple purposes:
  • Planned generational change
  • Considering the sale of the company or seeking partners
  • Financing
  • Evaluating various strategic options or important decisions
  • Developing a value-creating strategy
  • Regular evaluation of value creation over the past year
Infima is an expert in valuation related to ownership changes. We use various methods, such as DCF (discounted cash flow analysis) and comparison with similar companies that are publicly traded or have undergone ownership changes, based on key financial metrics and benchmarking.
