Corporate Finance

EMB advises clients on raising debt and equity capital by providing support in identification, selection and negotiating with suitable investors, funds and banking institutions.

Corporate finance also includes the reorganisation of our clients´ business structures in order to obtain international financing (debt or equity). Our team and our tax consulting and legal partners have significant expertise in restructuring offshore activities to onshore financial holdings and trading companies with an emphasis on tax efficient solutions.
