Strategic fields of action

Where is your company facing a decisive turning point?

Field of action I

Growth Strategy

Where should the company grow — and by which means? We analyse which sectors and markets are attractive, where organic growth is viable and where acquisitions or partnerships may offer a faster path. The result is a prioritised growth agenda, underpinned by robust financial scenarios and clear implementation steps.

CHALLENGES

SBCF & Cie.
understands the challenges.

“How do we reliably translate our strategy from concept into implementation?”

“Which business areas will make a sufficient value contribution going forward — and which should be realigned or divested?”

“Does our business model need further development — or a fundamentally new approach?”

“Which capabilities are required for the next stage of development — and should we build or acquire them?”

“Which markets and regions should we expand into — and on what basis should we make that decision?”

“How do we create room for structured strategic work alongside day-to-day operations?”

“How robust are our growth assumptions, and which scenarios are realistic?”

“On what factual basis do we make decisions of this magnitude?”

ROLE SBCF & Cie.

SBCF & Cie. at your side.

We support your company in making strategic decisions — whether in adapting the business model, developing growth strategies, streamlining the portfolio or taking steps towards internationalisation, as well as in upcoming restructuring situations or fundamental transformation.

Our strategy approach is both analytical and pragmatic: we underpin every recommendation with robust market, competitive and value-enhancement analyses and translate it into concrete options for action.

Typical questions we answer together include: Which sectors and markets are attractive? Where should the company grow? Will existing business areas continue to create sufficient value? Which capabilities need to be built or acquired? Which activities should be reduced, sold or realigned?

Where appropriate, we build the bridge to M&A, financing or portfolio management.

Typical services:

Development of corporate and growth strategies with prioritised measures
Market and competitive analyses to assess attractive sectors and search fields
Business model and transformation advisory, including digital business models
Portfolio analysis with growth and divestment recommendations
Internationalisation and expansion strategies
Support in restructuring and special situations
Corporate development and linkage to M&A programmes
Preparation of robust financial scenarios as a basis for decision-making

Q&A | Frequently Asked Questions

No. The first conversation is non-binding and free of charge. We gain an initial understanding of your strategic starting point and show you where we see the key areas for action.
Both. For us, strategy does not end with a presentation. We translate recommendations into prioritised measures and support implementation — including financing or transaction execution where that is the right path.
No. With our best-fit approach, you can start in a focused way — for example with a Growth Session, a portfolio analysis or a single strategic field of action — and expand the mandate later if needed.
We think about strategy consistently from a financial and transaction-oriented perspective. Through our proximity to M&A and corporate finance, our recommendations remain implementable and financeable — and therefore directly connected to concrete decisions.
Initial robust assessments often emerge within the first few weeks. Formats such as the Growth Session are deliberately designed to provide clear orientation quickly as an entry point into further work.
