Heiko Rauch, Co-Founder and CFO of Zanox.de AG
“Andreas Thümmler and his M&A firm “Corporate Finance Partners” (CFP) advised zanox throughout its 15 million euro funding round with an Asian investor, its three acquisitions in France, Spain and Germany and lastly with the” 2007 Internet deal of the Year” in Germany in the trade sale to a consortium of German media&news group Axel Springer and Swiss based Publigroupe. The entire process was initiated, executed and handled by the CFP team within a period of 3 years. CFP, as a global firm, and its principals and execution team have done a phenomenal job during the entire process. We have enjoyed the highest standard of deal execution, networking and negotiation. CFP’s integrity and drive have been a decisive success factor in our own significant development and we are delighted to continue working with Andreas Thümmler/CFP in the future!”

"If you need the best M&A advice, management and transaction in europe, there is no better choice than CFP. Andreas created with his team an oustanding company that delivers. Knowing Andy for several years now, I can cleary say that he is a person of great integrity and high performance."
Thorsten Rehling, Co-Founder of blau Mobilfunk GmbH
"CFP/ Andreas Thümmler advised blau.de during it's 3-year growth phase all the way to the exit in 2008. Andi believed in blau before we started! The phases included two rounds of venture financing with traditional VC's as well as an Arabian investor and also the acquisition/ strategic partnership of one of our competitors. The CFP Team managed the process very professionally and helped us to secure the funds necessary for our high growth business model at any time. Among others the investor base played an important part in the successful exit to KPN/ Base. CFP is truly a master of managing M&A exits creating the highest possible value for founders, financial investors and buyers alike! We continue doing business with CFP e.g. as investors in the CFP&Founders Co-Investment Fund!"
