My activity in a few words

M&A advisory, fundraising, and growth strategies

We help entrepreneurs and business leaders maximize their company's valuation and structure successful transactions.

I'm Lorraine Delannoy, founder of an independent advisory firm.

I lead a firm specialized in mergers & acquisitions, fundraising, and external growth. My approach is based on tailor-made engagements, focused on confidentiality, precision, and long-term impact.

My role is to advise executives, shareholders, investors, and buyers on successful strategic transactions involving growth, sale, acquisition, or financial strategy.

My Areas of Expertise

I primarily work in the following areas:

Business Sales: Supporting shareholders through to the closing of a sale.
External Growth / Targeted Acquisitions: Identifying and acquiring strategic targets to support growth.
Fundraising: Structuring and raising funds through equity or debt from private and institutional investors.
Search for Buyers: Assisting buyers in their search for opportunities.
Structuring and Negotiating Transactions: Structuring and negotiating M&A deals and complex transactions.

My Approach

My method is based on a structured and human approach. Each assignment begins with a thorough analysis, followed by a clear strategy for each transaction. I then fully commit to operational and strategic support, with regular follow-ups until the deal is finalized.

I only take on a limited number of cases per year to ensure personalized attention and complete commitment to my clients.
