| Steps in the investment process

It is normally three months from initial contact with bm-t until signing of the investment contract.

Together with your investment enquiry you should ideally send us a short business plan or an executive summary so that we can decide whether your company fits in with the current investment focus of bm-t. (Contact us using our template under Contact).

If the initial evaluation is positive, confidentiality agreements will be concluded and you will send us a detailed business plan (see Toolbox).

A subsequent corporate presentation by the management will evaluate business models and corporate strategies and establish the financing strategy. In subsequent discussions with shareholders we will jointly identify investment opportunities and establish the scope of the conditions.

 

When the term sheet or letter of intent has been signed, the period of exclusivity will also be established.

In the subsequent due diligence we will investigate details of the legal, economic, financial and technical realities of your company.

If the results of the due diligence are positive we will formulate a detailed investment contract. Among other things this will define the investment amount (in the case of mezzanine financing conditions and term), the regulations governing the composition of the supervisory board or advisory board will be decided and a reporting system will be agreed.

In a final step before the contract is signed the terms governing decision-making will be submitted to bm-t's decision-making bodies (supervisory board / general meeting of shareholders / for bm-t the investment committee).
