You go through many complex phases when selling a business, as well as making a big personal decision. It takes a strong adviser to lead such a process and involve an owner-manager like myself, making me feel at ease and informed every step of the way. The Clearwater team has succeeded in this to the fullest. Apart from being exceptional, sharp, and professional, they have an extensive and thorough insight into the market in which we operate. Most importantly, they demonstrate a sincere interest in our company, which provides a sense of security and credibility. I am very happy about the match with MS2 Invest, which has the right network of resources and people that we need, to drive our business and support employees into the future.

We are proud to have advised the owners of a solid Danish growth business like All Styles and to have contributed to a successful ownership transfer. As Head of Consumer at Clearwater, it is always exciting to be able to engage with the company’s products. As part of a family with a wife and a daughter, I did know of the All Styles’ universe and look forward to following All Styles from the sidelines, in its new partnership with MS2 Invest.
