Having served a number of small and large foreign PE investors we have a tested and optimized process which quickly generates deal flow. FaMAS individually markets PE investors to the German community, screens deals, meets targets or its advisers. Each year we have about 1200 such conversations. The service includes monthly update calls and structured activity reports on new and running deals. The support also offers guidance on offer letters and transaction structure. If requested, FaMAS can also provide support in selection and coordination of a good local DD team (legal, financial and industry experts etc.).

However, the service is currently limited only to a maximum of 5 PE funds simultaneously and only if sweet spots are not creating deal/investor conflicts for FaMAS. Each PE investor receives an exclusive service.

According to calculations based on our own and PE Funds’ estimates, the FaMAS PE Origination Services saves up to 80% of the fixed costs compared to even having the smallest office in Germany staffed with only 1 professional. At the same time it generates faster and more deals. According to our experience it frees investors’ resources from time consuming screening, meeting and travelling. This way investors can focus on more critical functions like deal structuring or preparing and managing exits.
