Corporate Advisory

Strategic decisions at shareholder level.

GestInvest advises business owners, shareholders and boards on ownership, governance, restructuring and complex corporate situations.

Positioning

When the decision goes
beyond operations.

GestInvest becomes involved when the question is structural, shareholder-level or strategic — not when it is a matter of day-to-day management.

Ownership Changes Shareholder Alignment Restructuring Governance Strategic Alternatives Partnerships Complex Corporate Situations

What We Do

Advisory above the
operational line.

Six areas where ownership, governance and strategic direction materially affect the outcome.

01

Strategic Review

Analysing the company’s and shareholders’ strategic options — ownership alternatives, capital requirements, transaction readiness and strategic priorities.

02

Shareholder Advisory

Direct support to shareholders on alignment, liquidity objectives, ownership changes, strategic alternatives and shareholder negotiations.

03

Ownership & Governance

Ownership structure and governance mechanisms — decision rights, shareholder agreement coordination and board structure.

04

Corporate Restructuring

Corporate and shareholder reorganisation — capital structure review, ownership restructuring, business perimeter changes and strategic repositioning.

05

Strategic Partnerships & Joint Ventures

Structuring strategic alliances — partner identification, partnership structure, joint ventures and negotiation support.

06

Special Situations

Complex situations requiring cross-disciplinary judgment — shareholder disputes, distressed ownership, strategic exits and succession-related corporate situations.

When We Become Involved

Recognising the moment before it becomes a crisis.

Shareholders disagree on the future of the company
A founder is considering succession
A company requires a new ownership structure
A strategic partner or joint venture is being considered
A business needs restructuring before a transaction
A shareholder wants liquidity but a full sale is premature
The board needs to evaluate strategic alternatives
