About us

The advisors behind every Alten mandate

A senior team of corporate finance specialists guiding owner-managed businesses through transactions, financing, and restructuring

A group of people socializing in an office breakroom.

At Alten, we guide entrepreneurs and business owners through critical milestones - from business transfers to financing and restructuring.

Our Vision

Every business reaches a point where decisions carry long-term consequences. Whether it’s growth, transition, or transformation, these moments demand both strategic clarity and financial discipline.

For over 15 years, we have worked closely with our clients to guide them through these challenges — combining technical expertise with a practical, hands-on approach.

We believe great advisory is built on trust, independence, and alignment. We are not driven by products or incentives — only by what is right for our clients. Our focus is simple: help you make better decisions, and deliver outcomes that stand the test of time.

Are you building a business that can run without you?

Over time, value inevitably shifts away from individual relationships and into systems, processes, and teams. The more your business can operate independently, the more it is perceived as a stable and investable business platform rather than just a mere personal enterprise.

Do your financials reflect reality or optimization?

Is your capital structure supporting growth or limiting it?

If an opportunity appeared tomorrow, could you act?

Are you acquiring value or just adding revenue?
