Selling a company or a stake, buying a business, bringing in an investor or handing a family company to the next generation are once-in-a-lifetime decisions. RSM Croatia provides M&A advisory in Croatia from the first idea and due diligence through to signing and completion. We help you make the right move, at the right time, at the right price.
Croatian deals are becoming more complex. Buyers and funds expect detailed financial and tax data, and many owners are selling for the first time. Good preparation and a realistic valuation separate a deal that creates value from one that loses it at the negotiating table.
How we help with transactions
Sell-side advisory
Preparing the company for sale, the information memorandum, approaching buyers and running the process.
Buy-side advisory
Identifying targets, analysis and structuring of the acquisition.
Financial due diligence
In-depth analysis that uncovers risks, normalised earnings, net debt and working capital needs, alongside tax due diligence from our tax team.
Vendor due diligence
An independent report for the seller that speeds up the process and strengthens your negotiating position.
Valuation
An independent valuation of the company or stake as a solid starting point for negotiations.
Structuring and negotiation
Tax-efficient deal structures, negotiation support and financial and tax input into the SPA alongside your lawyers, including price mechanisms (completion accounts or locked box).
Investor entry and succession
Bringing in private equity or strategic investors, management buy-outs (MBO) and family business succession.
Post-deal integration
Financial, accounting and tax integration after completion.
Our approach
Every process starts with your goals: price, timing, the future of your people and your own role after the deal. We then build the plan and the team around the transaction. Confidentiality is the rule from day one.

M&A advisory in Croatia: frequently asked questions
Ideally one to two years ahead: tidy up financial statements and contracts, resolve tax risks, reduce dependence on the owner and show clear growth potential. The earlier you start, the more you can influence price and terms.
Vendor due diligence is an in-depth review the seller commissions before going to market. It pays off when you expect several bidders, want a shorter process or want to fix weak spots before a buyer uses them to push the price down.
We start with the ideal buyer profile: a strategic buyer, a financial investor or the management team. We then prepare an anonymous teaser and an information memorandum and approach selected buyers discreetly, in Croatia and abroad through the RSM network. Your identity is disclosed only under a signed confidentiality agreement.
Yes. We work with family businesses, mid-sized companies and funds, and scale our support to the deal.
