Taking your business to the next level

Whether you’re looking to go public, raise funds via private placements or debt, or explore other opportunities in the capital markets, the Bank for Entrepreneurs will give you access to Deutsche Bank’s corporate and investment banking expertise from a single point of contact. 

Perhaps it is time to sell shares in your business to fund your next growth stage – or because it makes sense to diversify your own holdings. Maybe you have found a target business for acquisition that can take your company into new markets – but to get there you will need debt financing, and the help of an experienced M&A team. We can connect you with a range of experts across the bank for different types of deals, depending on your needs and the regions in which you operate.

Whichever direction you are moving, the details of corporate finance have significant implications for your family’s wealth. A shift in the ownership structure of a business can be a complex procedure, and we can guide you through it.

From selling shares to issuing debt to growth through acquisitions

Taking a company public is an important step for many businesses, both in the terms of its own growth and the shape of your family’s investment portfolio. Because we have a footprint in all major financial centres, our equity capital markets team is well positioned to take your business to market, issue a secondary offering, or secure a private placement. We can walk you through the complete range of products available to identify the best one for your situation.

Another critical milestone can be when your business has matured to the point that you want to approach debt markets for the capital to buy out another company, fund your own growth initiatives, or recapitalize after a period of heavy investment. 

Our bankers can leverage their deep knowledge and international presence to identify the right type of debt for your circumstance, structure a loan, or take a merger transaction across the finish line – whether it is with a local competitor or an adjacent business in another country.
