With the leadership of Fortezza Partners during the M&A process, we were able to continue running the business with peace of mind. In addition, they always brought the best explanation for our doubts during the preparation of the business plan, roadshow, due diligence, signing, etc. They were always very thoughtful to help us understand the process which was new to us. The deal was very smooth, as we knew there were extremely qualified professionals working on our side and always available to clarify, lead, redirect and draw our attention when necessary. Fortezza Partners was key during the entire M&A process and we would not have made it this far without their advice and commitment.

With Fortezza we conducted a transaction with tranquility and security that guaranteed us to start on the right foot in the market of Sao Paulo.
Natan Lessa Goyatá
CEO Vitapart
We hired Fortezza when the shareholders made the decision to sell their beloved 107-year-old company. The process started with the valuation of the business and then moved to the initial search and contact with potential interested buyers, and finally the tough negotiation process. The latter was led by Fortezza team with mastery, competence and a lot of flexibility. It was an enrichen experience to work alongside Fortezza.

It is no easy task to advise in the sale process of a centenary company. Fortezza was flawless throughout the entire process despite many challenges. In the face of a fragmented family with interests not always unanimously converging, Fortezza led the process in a very professional manner being always frank, optimistic and careful at the right moment. Fortezza was able to handle this mosaic scenario and perform exceptionally well. Congratulations for the way this transaction was led!

I consider of most importance to hire an advisor during the M&A process so as to not suffer from competitive speculation. Fortezza helped us a lot.
Enio Issa
Founder and CEO
I was fortunate to work with Fortezza's team for 4 years. They prepared our company for the sale process and advised us in every step of the negotiations. They added a lot of value by building a relationship of trust and respect between both sides. It was one of the most enriching professional experiences in my career.
Marcelo Sanovicz
Fundador e CEO
I worked for many months with Fortezza´s team in 2014 and 2015, when I was the CFO of CVC, during the acquisition of Duotur Group. They were extremely qualified and ethical professionals during the negotiations and have certainly contributed a lot for the final result.
