M&A Advisory
For companies with €1–10 million in revenue: the experience of 200+ transactions as buyers, put to work for the seller. Valuation, buyer search, negotiation and closing.
For over fifteen years, Blue Mountain has sat on the other side of the table: analysing information memoranda, challenging normalised EBITDAs, negotiating letters of intent and executing due diligence. We know exactly what makes a buyer pay more — and which seller mistakes let them pay less.
That knowledge is the service. For companies between €1 and €10 million in revenue — the segment large boutiques do not serve — we direct the complete sale process: preparation, valuation, confidential buyer identification and contact, data room management, letter of intent negotiation and support through closing.
Blue Mountain is, above all, a direct-investment family office: we acquire Spanish companies with EBITDA above €800,000. That duality demands clear rules, which we put in writing in every mandate:
It is for you if you have €1–10M in revenue, want to sell within 6–24 months, and want someone to direct the process end to end with transparent fees.
It is not for you if your company's EBITDA exceeds €800,000 — in that case we are probably your direct buyer, with no fees involved. And if you are looking to transfer a small local business, our transfer vs sale guide will point you in the right direction at no cost.

We work with the market-standard structure: a monthly retainer during the mandate and a success fee on the final transaction price, decreasing by tranches. Exact terms depend on deal size and complexity and are agreed in writing before any work begins. No surprises: the full fee proposal is presented in the first meeting.
It is the right question, and we answer it in writing in every mandate: if a company we advise fits our acquisition profile, we tell you immediately, you decide whether to consider us as a buyer, and in that case we arrange independent advice for that negotiation. Our sell-side mandate obliges us to seek the best outcome for you — and 200+ transactions have taught us that reputation is worth more than any single deal.
The sale-direction service is designed for companies with €1–10 million in revenue — the segment large investment banks do not serve and where most mistakes happen for lack of professional guidance. For companies with EBITDA above €800,000, Blue Mountain typically acts as a direct buyer, not as an adviser.
Between 6 and 12 months from mandate signature to closing, depending on sector and how prepared the company is. The phases: documentation preparation (1-2 months), buyer search and contact (2-4 months), negotiation and letter of intent (1-2 months), due diligence and closing (2-4 months).
