OUR VALUES
SPF fully coordinates and manages the process, guided exclusively by the client's interests. The process is entirely transparent, empowering the client to make the best possible decisions.
​
SPF’s independent approach enables unbiased recommendations aimed solely at fulfilling client and corporate needs, cultivating long-term relationships.
​
Mastery of all technical aspects related to valuation, corporate finance, accounting, market analysis, corporate strategy, management, and negotiation, creating value throughout every stage of the process.
​
Although experienced with large corporate clients, SPF distinguishes itself in the middle market by deeply understanding family-owned, unaudited companies that are not yet fully prepared for an M&A process.
​
SPF's reputation for integrity ensures credibility within an extensive network and direct channels with key financial investors and market advisors.
