What this page is for

You should quickly understand how I work, which kinds of cases I support, and why this approach remains robust in negotiations, decision processes, and conflict settings.

Relevant background

My focus is on business valuation, real estate valuation, and decision-oriented advisory in cases with real economic significance. I completed a Master’s degree in Economics with a focus on Finance at FernUniversität in Hagen and concentrated in particular on functional business valuation. In addition, I bring long-term experience as a shareholder in an SME environment. The objective is not formal complexity for its own sake, but a traceable and practically robust economic interpretation.

Focus areas

The work is deliberately aimed at situations where clear derivation, methodological quality, and an independent perspective matter.

  • Business valuation in transaction and conflict contexts
  • Real estate valuation for sale, inheritance, asset allocation, and financing
  • Plausibility review of existing valuations and appraisals
  • Valuation-related advisory for negotiation, structuring, and decision support

How I work

My objective is a robust basis for decision-making — not maximum complexity without additional economic insight.

  • Clear objective definition: context, scope, valuation function, and intended use
  • Transparent assumptions instead of black-box results
  • Method choice that fits the case and remains theoretically consistent
  • Understandable presentation of results for specialist and non-specialist audiences

Technical and analytical capability

Quantitative modelling, scenario analysis, and methodological depth are used where they improve the quality of interpretation and the robustness of decisions. Complexity is reduced where it adds no practical benefit. In international contexts, I also support bilingual communication where it is genuinely useful for the case.

What you can rely on

  • Confidential handling of sensitive information
  • Careful, traceable, and critical derivation
  • Practical orientation toward the next sensible step
  • Independent assessment instead of simply adopting pre-existing views

What clients can expect from working together

The focus is on an economic interpretation that is not only formally correct, but truly useful in the concrete case — whether for negotiation, decision-making, structuring, or the critical review of an existing report.

Would you like your case to be assessed in a structured way?

If you need a well-founded valuation basis or a robust second opinion, we can start with a short confidential initial discussion.

No generic standard answers: each assessment is case-specific, methodically sound, and transparently documented.
