MYD Capital Partners advises companies and business groups with an acquisition, the sale of a subsidiary, a new investment, a financing or a strategic partnership on the agenda. We work closely with management and in-house teams, with senior people on every engagement and a clear focus on getting the transaction to close.
What do corporates and groups bring to us?
A group rarely has one transaction in front of it. It has a portfolio of decisions: which businesses to grow, which to sell, where to invest next and how to finance all of it at group level. The mandates we see from corporates and groups typically fall into five kinds.
- Buy-side acquisitions — finding, assessing and acquiring a company that adds a market, a capability, a technology or scale.
- Divestments and carve-outs — selling a subsidiary, a division or a non-core business, often one that has never been presented as a standalone company.
- New investments — entering a new sector or geography, including greenfield projects that need project finance.
- Group-level financing — refinancing, consolidating facilities across subsidiaries or raising capital for the group as a whole.
- Joint ventures and strategic partnerships — sharing risk and capability with a partner rather than acquiring outright.
How do we work alongside your team?
Most corporates and groups already have capable people: a CFO, a finance team, sometimes a corporate development or strategy function. They do not need an advisor to replace them. They need additional senior capacity, an independent view and access to counterparties they do not already know.
We work as an extension of that team. A dedicated senior lead stays on the engagement from start to finish. We agree objectives, decision rights and a communication cadence in writing, provide written updates during active processes and keep a decision log so that every choice is traceable. We coordinate with your lawyers, auditors and tax advisors; we do not replace them.
What we add is focus on the outcome. A transaction inside a busy group competes with everything else management has to do. We keep it moving through defined stages, so it does not stall between board meetings.
How our practices apply to group transactions
Every engagement begins with Phase Zero: a short assessment of strategic fit, typically two to four weeks, before any mandate is signed.
The Confluence™ covers buy-side and sell-side M&A, growth capital and project finance. On an acquisition, we build and score the universe of potential targets, approach them discreetly and support valuation, diligence and negotiation. On a divestment, we identify the buyers most likely to value the business and run the process through to signing.
The Goldsmith™ prepares a subsidiary or division for sale. A carve-out often lacks standalone financials, its own management structure or a clear story of its own. We build those before the business goes to market: a financial model, a valuation analysis, an investment memorandum and a data room.
The Polarity™ structures joint ventures, cross-border alliances, co-investment structures and strategic supply partnerships. We qualify partners before any contact is made and design a structure that reflects the real balance of value on both sides.
The Dawn™ addresses group-level capital structure: debt refinancing, club deal structuring across several lenders, covenant resets and working capital release across subsidiaries.
A business group may sit above the €50M–€500M annual revenue band that defines our core client profile, while the subsidiaries it sells and the targets it acquires typically sit inside it. Our reach across 5 continents, 40+ strategic markets and 500+ capital partners supports both sides of that picture.
Frequently asked questions
Do you replace our corporate development or finance team?
No. We work alongside them. Your team keeps ownership of the strategy and the decisions; we add senior capacity, independent analysis and access to counterparties and capital outside your existing relationships.
Can you help sell a subsidiary that has never operated on its own?
Yes. This is one of the most common reasons to start with The Goldsmith™. We build standalone financials, define the business's own management structure and story, and identify the transitional arrangements a buyer will ask about, before the first approach.
Do you advise on cross-border acquisitions?
Yes. Cross-border transactions raise currency, structure and cultural questions that domestic deals never face, and we address them from the first conversation. Our cross-border M&A guide sets out the main considerations.
How do you manage conflicts of interest across a group's transactions?
We represent one party in a transaction, never both. We are independent: not owned by a bank, fund or lender, and we do not sell financial products. Any potential conflict is identified in Phase Zero, before a mandate is signed.
