FISART is an M&A sell-side advisory firm that combines institutional-grade process with AI-driven efficiency to help owners of companies with €1M–€100M revenue achieve a competitive exit — delivering a structured, technology-enabled sale that typically yields 27% higher prices than the industry average.
What is FISART?
FISART is a boutique investment bank that prepares and sells mid-sized companies through a structured, technology-enabled process. It takes a business in its current state, runs a three-month preparation phase to fix due diligence gaps, then launches a competitive buyer process (45–60 days to LOI) with 150+ qualified buyers, producing a completed sale at maximum value. The firm operates as a full-service advisory, not a platform, and is based in Germany.
Key Features
- Structured three-month preparation phase — Identifies and remediates 8–12 DD-critical gaps before any buyer sees the business, reducing last-minute surprises and value erosion.
- Competitive buyer process — 150+ qualified buyers are engaged simultaneously in a parallel, time-bound auction, not sequential one-on-one negotiation.
- Real-time buyer transparency — Owners see buyer engagement metrics: reaction speed, diligence depth, drop-offs — in a dashboard, not a black box.
- AI-powered buyer matching — A curated buyer universe combined with AI-driven matching targets relevant acquirers, not just the advisor’s personal Rolodex.
- Free data-driven valuation — A no-obligation business valuation based on thousands of SMB transactions across 8+ industries, available at fisart.com.
- Proven results — €234M total transaction volume, 26 completed deals, average 141 buyers contacted per mandate, and prices 27% above industry average.
- Full process under one roof — From preparation through due diligence, negotiation, and closing, all managed by the FISART team — no need to hire separate advisors.
Who is it for?
- Owners of profitable companies with €1M–€100M revenue — Retailers, manufacturers, SaaS founders, service firms, and family businesses seeking a structured exit at maximum value.
- Entrepreneurs planning retirement or succession — Especially those who want to retain control over timing and buyer selection while avoiding the lowball offers of a single-buyer process.
- Founders who have never sold a business before — One-time sellers who need expert guidance through positioning, buyer outreach, and negotiation to avoid costly mistakes.
What can you do with FISART?
- Prepare your company for sale: Identify and fix 8–12 typical DD gaps (unclean financials, owner dependency, incomplete IP documentation) during a focused three-month readiness phase — turning your business from “sellable as-is” to “sale-ready at premium.”
- Run a competitive bidding process: Launch a parallel auction with 150+ pre-qualified buyers, enforce synchronized deadlines, and let market competition drive the price — instead of negotiating with a single buyer who has all the leverage.
- Get a free, data-backed valuation: Use FISART’s industry benchmarks to understand what your business is worth before you commit to any process — available at fisart.com.
