Private equity funds, venture capital funds and other investors looking at Croatia and the wider region need an adviser who quickly understands the target business and says clearly where the risks and the value lie. RSM Croatia supports funds, family offices and strategic buyers through the whole investment cycle: from first assessment and due diligence to portfolio monitoring and exit. We focus on mid-market deals, where local knowledge makes the biggest difference.
Private equity challenges in Croatia
The Croatian market offers attractive opportunities, along with its own particularities. Many targets are family-owned, with informal processes and reporting that was not built for investors. Timing is critical, and a gap in due diligence is expensive.
- Quality of financial information – EBITDA normalisation and separating owner costs from business costs.
- Tax risks – legacy liabilities and exposures of the target.
- Structuring – the structure of the deal and its financing.
- Post-completion reporting – professionalising processes and monthly reporting.
- Exit readiness – a portfolio company ready for the next buyer.

Frequently asked questions
Beyond quality of earnings, net debt and working capital, we test what drives the fund's return: how realistic the management plan is, capital needs, tax exposures and the company's readiness to report to investors. The findings feed directly into price, warranties in the share purchase agreement and the 100-day plan.
It sets out the key steps after completion: monthly reporting to the fund, cash control, resolving due diligence findings and key performance indicators. We prepare it during due diligence, so the fund has clear numbers and priorities from day one.
