ROOTS Advisory provided exclusive advice to the shareholders and management of Büttner Elektronik GmbH throughout all phases of the project. With advising the shareholders of Büttner Elektronik, the Roots Advisory team has successfully completed another transaction in the mobile home sector. In addition to initiating the transaction, ROOTS Advisory provided support with all financial and valuation-related matters, including business planning, due diligence and contract negotiations, until completion. Prior to the start of the project, ROOTS supported Büttner Elektronik in developing an expansion strategy.
