Transactions Services People Contact ABOUT US WE ARE ALPHA Alpha specialises in business merger, acquisitions and industrial insights in the Nordic markets. We take pride in our down-to-earth and thorough process. Further, we push ourselves to develop new and relevant services. A FULL-STACK BOUTIQUE Focusing on the mid-cap market, Alpha is an independent boutique with full brokerage authorization from The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway. We advice structured sales processes, acquisitions, succession planning, capital raise and Management Buy-Outs. Alpha works with private and public companies, as well as national and international private equity investors. Alpha Corporate Finance was founded in 2007 by Lars Langsrud, Ketil Schjetne and Erik Schwabe, - a splinter group of leading banking professionals from Danske Markets Corporate Finance. DELIVERING SOLID CRAFTSMANSHIP Alpha’s vision is to offer our clients advisory services that exceeds their expectations. Even though our process is not much different from other advisors, we believe that our standards are. We are down-to-earth people. We take pride in thorough corporate finance craftsmanship while being given the trust to be a company owner’s caretaker during an important milestone. We build solid. The end result is our goal. Our mission is to create two winners in a strategic or financial transaction. Decency is a virtue and with that comes no quick fixes. M&As are important instruments in a company's lifecycle. Subsequently, our task is to extend the historic values and release new potential. As in any healthy ecosystem, the most sustainable models scale and renew. Value is not just short term financial equity. There are also long term strategic values. There are social values. When great values are involved, both opportunities and risks deserve equal attention in order to protect capital, product, organisation, intellectual property and a company’s legacy. Transparency is vital for trust and control. Discretion a must for asset protection. We cater all facets. While most industries are currently being disrupted by new technology, our Corporate Finance industry not so much. At Alpha, we are impatient and hence invest in new tools to improve our services. As examples, we adopt design thinking principles in our prospects, and prepare to leverage big data analysis in our industry research division.
