Core Expertise

Ever since founding imicon in 2015, we have specialised in designing growth strategies for privately held, mid-sized businesses.

The challenges faced by our clients frequently resemble one of three patterns:
 

  1. Stagnation: a previously profitable business has begun to lose momentum. Often this comes in tandem with decreasing market shares and diminishing margins.
  2. Disruption: as new competitors gain market share, traditional competitive advantages rapidly lose relevance. As a result, both revenues and margins are eroding at an accelerating pace.
  3. Take-off stall: despite solid foundations, the growth trajectory of a new business line remains significantly below expectations.

Implementing effective solutions to these challenges will often require investments and restructuring costs. Consequently, further questions may arise, such as:

  • Which option is more attractive: divesting the business in its current shape, or charting the way towards a more attractive valuation?
  • How much incremental value can be gained by implementing change until a turning point comes in sight?
  • What are the options for raising fresh equity on favourable terms?
