Our clients are highly specialized world market leaders in their respective niche. They are generally convinced that entering the North American market by way of an acquisition is the fastest and most efficient way to gain significant market share quickly.
We offer them the entire suite of investment banking services from target definition all the way to transaction financing. With our many decades of experience, outstanding reputation in the market and extensive network in the financial industry, we are able to serve our clients with customized financing solutions.
We offer companies expanding either from Europe to North America or from North America to Europe a comprehensive set of services. We support our clients from collecting market data through selecting the best location all the way to first production runs.
Once a decision on the plant or office location is reached we help find the right partner for human resources, construction, insurance and logistics. Often our network even enables us to make initial contacts in the target industry, which our clients then turn into customer relationships.
With Pegasus Group on your side you have an in-house team of market entry experts that ensure your expansion will be a full-blown success.
Our clients regularly have gaps in the management team of their US-subsidiaries. Whether it’s during factory construction, a critical move or simply because the entity in the US just is not big enough yet to afford a full time executive, we step in and lead.
Over the past fifteen years, this has become one of the three most important areas of practice for the partners of the Pegasus Group. Our clients appreciate the extreme flexibility along with very quick emersion enabling us to make decisions quickly and executing on those efficiently. Especially in the area of acquisitions, post-merger integration and a focus on long term success of a transaction across the Atlantic has become our central brand.
It requires a certain set of cultural sensitivity, cross-cultural leadership depth and industry expertise to make these projects long-term successes. It is exactly that combination that our partners all bring to the table to ensure that your acquisition becomes one of our success stories.
Our success is based on establishing subsidiaries in the United States since 1978. Whenever our clients experience leadership voids or are confronted with a crisis of any kind, we step in and facilitate for them, often as a member of the management team. This is part of our long-term approach and gives our partners deep insight into our clients' industries.
