Profile

GMV Invest is an independent advisory and investment firm for situations in which standard processes are not enough.

We combine strategic advice, transaction management and well-founded regulatory judgement. Mandates are handled personally and led by senior professionals. This creates short decision paths, clear accountability and advice consistently focused on the commercial outcome.

Depending on the assignment, we assemble tailored teams with leading international law firms, audit firms, corporate finance specialists and sector experts. We coordinate this expertise through a single point of responsibility while preserving the independence of our advice.

Capabilities

Where strategy meets execution

Three fields of expertise. One integrated perspective.

Lead Advisory

M&A and cross-border transactions

We advise shareholders, companies and investors on strategically demanding transactions — independently, senior-led and with particular experience at the intersection of multiple jurisdictions.

Coordination of due diligence, valuation and negotiations
Carve-outs, joint ventures and strategic partnerships

Transformation & Special Situations

Restructuring and industrial special situations

In periods of structural change, we establish a robust basis for decision-making, align stakeholder interests and translate strategic options into an executable action and transaction path.

Stakeholder mapping and governance structures
Distressed M&A and investor processes
Refinancing and capital structure measures
Implementation management across complex stakeholder environments

Selective Real Estate Advisory

Real estate and property-related corporate structures

Real estate is a deliberately selective third field of expertise. Our focus is not traditional property brokerage, but corporate, capital structure and special-situation mandates.

Share deals and portfolio transactions
Project and property companies
Operational real estate and mixed-use structures
Workout, refinancing and special situations
Investor outreach in the professional market
Coordination of specialist technical and legal advisers

Capital & Partnerships

Investor Intelligence

Not the largest number of contacts. The right capital partners.

We identify and qualify professional and institutional investors by strategy, sector, ticket size, geographic focus, time horizon and decision-making capability. Outreach is targeted, discreet and based on a robust equity story.

In selected transactions, GMV Invest may invest directly, participate alongside partners or structure a tailored consortium.

Sources of capital: Family offices, private equity, strategic investors and institutional capital providers
Mandate logic: Selective longlist, qualified shortlist and controlled outreach
Market standard: Professional preparation, traceable documentation and robust governance

Mandate approach

From judgement to execution

Structure before action.

Complexity is not mastered by adding more slides, but through clear decision logic, reliable facts and disciplined execution.

Orientation

We define the initial position, target outcome, stakeholders and critical value drivers.

Transaction architecture

We develop the structure, timetable, decision logic and a robust view of risk.

Market & negotiation

Suitable counterparties are selected, approached confidentially and managed through a disciplined process.

Execution

We coordinate specialists, secure decision paths and remain involved through completion.

Transaction Integrity

Compliance by design

Regulatory resilience is part of transaction quality.

AML, KYC and sanctions compliance are not treated as afterthoughts. They are integrated on a risk-based basis into transaction structure, counterparty selection, information flows and documentation.

KYC & UBO

Identification and plausibility assessment of counterparties, ultimate beneficial owners, ownership and control structures, including complex participation chains.

AML & source of funds

Risk-oriented review of transaction purpose, economic background, source of funds and unusual payment or structural features.

Sanctions compliance

Screening of relevant individuals, entities, jurisdictions and control relationships, with particular regard to applicable EU sanctions regimes.

Governance & audit trail

Traceable review paths, escalation logic and documented decisions calibrated to the nature, scope and risk profile of the mandate.

The applicable review obligations and allocation of responsibilities depend on the individual mandate and governing legal requirements. Where required, legal, tax and regulated financial services are provided by appropriately qualified or authorised partners.

Sector understanding

Selected sectors

Focused experience rather than indiscriminate sector breadth.

Industrial & technology-enabled businesses

Mid-market corporate groups, industrial services, technology-enabled business models and complex value chains.

Healthcare & MedTech

Healthcare delivery, medical services, diagnostics, medical technology and regulated platform models.

Real Estate

Property-related companies, operator structures, portfolios and selected special situations.
