Acquisition Criteria and Focus Sectors
Tactical Management’s acquisition strategy targets businesses across the globe with revenues up to $100 million, particularly those that are currently loss-making. The firm seeks majority stakes or complete takeovers, including companies facing bankruptcy or insolvency. The preferred sectors for acquisition include Chemical, Industrial, Healthcare, Business Services, Consumer & Retail, Power & Energy, Automotive, Oil & Gas, Media, Aerospace & Defence, among others.
Dr. Raphael Nagel emphasized, “Our goal is to provide a lifeline to struggling companies and transform them into profitable entities. We specialize in handling complex situations, including pension liabilities and legacy corporate liabilities, ensuring a seamless transition and continuity of operations.”
Key Advantages and Swift Execution
Tactical Management distinguishes itself with several key advantages. The firm requires no reps and warranties from sellers, protects the seller’s reputation, and guarantees the certainty of closing. With a significant and permanent capital base, Tactical Management ensures deals are executed swiftly, often closing in under 30 days. The firm is also committed to high employee retention post-takeover, ensuring that vital interests are protected.
Dr. Raphael Nagel highlighted, “We pride ourselves on our ability to close deals quickly and seamlessly. Our approach guarantees business continuation and offers a solution for balance sheet improvement for sellers. We provide full liability transfer, including handling complex environmental liabilities.”
