Erwin de Grave | M&A Investor & Business Mentor
You built something valuable. Now you want to improve performance, increase its worth, or prepare for a successful exit. I help business owners see what they are missing and take action.

Different goals need different approaches. Start with what matters most to you.
“I Know We Can Do Better”
You sense inefficiencies but cannot pinpoint them. Costs feel too high. Growth has stalled. You need fresh eyes to find what you are missing.
“What Is My Business Actually Worth?”
You have built something, but you do not know its true value. You want a clear number, not a guess. And you want to know how to increase it.
“I Want to Exit in the Next Few Years”
You are thinking about selling, but you are not sure if you are ready. You want to know what buyers will see, what to fix first, and how to maximise your price.
The same inefficiency that costs an aerospace manufacturer millions also affects your business. I have seen it across 10+ industries. I will spot what your industry insiders miss.
No vague advice. You get prioritised actions with clear next steps. I tell you what to do, in what order, and why it matters.
I look at your business the way a buyer would. Even if you are not selling, this perspective reveals weaknesses and opportunities you would otherwise miss.
Erwin de Grave, Málaga, Spain
I spent the first part of my career as a management consultant delivering cost reduction and operational improvement projects for multinationals across Europe and the USA. Clients like Aerospatiale, AkzoNobel, and EADS. One engagement delivered EUR 19.6 million in purchasing savings alone.
Now I apply that same analytical rigour to help business owners like you find what you are missing.
