Corporate Advisory: M&A, Valuations & Due Diligence in Spain

At BMC, we provide comprehensive corporate advisory to companies, corporate groups, and family offices at the moments that define their future. Mergers and acquisitions, business valuations, due diligence, restructurings, corporate governance, and financing transactions: every strategic decision demands a team that combines analytical rigour with deep knowledge of the Spanish and international markets.

Corporate advisory with a strategic lens

Corporate transactions transform organisations. Whether it is an acquisition to consolidate market position, a restructuring to secure business viability, or an IPO on a regulated market overseen by the CNMV or on BME Growth to fund the next phase of growth, each process requires an integrated approach that coordinates the financial, tax, legal, and operational dimensions.

Our multidisciplinary team —professionals with direct experience in investment banking, Big 4 audit, and strategic advisory— designs bespoke solutions that protect shareholder interests and maximise transaction value. We are not intermediaries: we participate actively in every phase, from initial diagnosis through to post-deal integration.

Corporate finance and company law capabilities

Effective corporate advisory requires mastering multiple disciplines simultaneously. Our practice areas span the full spectrum of corporate finance and company law:

• M&A and transactions: Buy-side and sell-side advisory on mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. Target identification, valuation, SPA negotiation, and closing coordination for domestic and cross-border deals.
• Valuation and analysis: Independent valuation reports using DCF, comparable multiples, and sector-specific methodologies. Over 350 reports delivered for transactions, litigation, estates, and restructurings.
• Multidisciplinary due diligence: Financial, tax, legal, employment, and commercial analysis ahead of any transaction. Detection of hidden contingencies and risk quantification that translate into negotiation leverage.
• Restructuring and turnaround: Viability plans, debt refinancing, carve-outs, and operational restructurings for companies under financial stress.
• Corporate governance and ESG: Governance structure design, family protocols, succession planning, and sustainability strategies aligned with the CSRD and ESRS frameworks.

The Spanish M&A market

Spain is a dynamic M&A market with over 2,500 transactions per year, ranging from €1M SME deals to megadeals exceeding €500M. Family-owned businesses —representing 85% of the Spanish corporate landscape— face a generational cycle that drives succession transactions, partial sales to private equity funds, and corporate restructurings.

In this context, local corporate advisory makes the difference. We know the particulars of the Spanish Commercial Code, the Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), regional tax regimes, and the negotiation dynamics of the Iberian market. At the same time, our partner network across 15+ jurisdictions enables us to execute cross-border transactions with the same effectiveness as domestic ones.

Track record and results

With over two decades of experience and more than 200 completed transactions totalling over €5,000M in cumulative deal value, our team has proven its capability across all transaction sizes and the major sectors of the Spanish economy: food and beverage, technology, energy, real estate, financial services, and manufacturing.

Every transaction receives the same level of dedication and analytical rigour, regardless of size. We work with entrepreneurs selling the business of a lifetime with the same intensity as corporations executing their tenth acquisition.
