Case Study
Scenario
A five-year-old telecommunication company has successfully completed a mezzanine financing round. The agreement required compliance with milestones and specific financial covenants.
Action
The investors, an international consortium, demanded the introduction of professional controlling and reporting structures. At the same time the company grew from 12 to 25 employees. The company’s founder contacted Portus and within two weeks, we took over controlling/reporting, business administration, as well as investor relations. Portus also took responsibility for preparing monthly reports and quarterly Supervisory Board meetings.
Result
Our initial service led to three years of cooperation until the company was sold to a strategic investor. On average, during that period Portus’ Mr Fink took care of the company’s activities for one and a half days per week. When the sale of the company was prepared, the involvement of Mr. Fink increased to about four days a week for a period of approximately two months.
