ČSOB Advisory has a compact team of experts with extensive experience in many areas of business – ranging from family businesses, energy, infrastructure and public sector to the current topic of sustainability
Family businesses are an important sector in the Czech business sphere. More than 30 years have passed since the liberalization of business in the Czech Republic and the founders – the current owners – are dealing with the way and form of future management of their family businesses. They consider passing it on to descendants, relatives or friends, settling the relation with other co-owners, managing it through strong management (key managers), or selling it.
For these companies, ČSOB Advisory primarily offers consulting services in the area of: setting up a suitable form of family/firm asset management according to individual client requirements and creating a suitable structure for future business (holding arrangement, restructuring of companies or equity stakes , assistance in the settlement with owners, assistance in setting up trust or foundation funds, assistance in settling inheritance proceedings in relation to ensuring business continuity) and other services related to this issue, such as support in the implementation of strategic projects and investments, creation of a strategic financial plan / model, proposal of project financing, financial controlling and reporting, etc.
Energy sector and infrastructure is undergoing unprecedented change. The coexistence of the so-called “new energy” (increasing share of renewable sources, decentralization, smart solutions) with conventional energy is a reality and their interaction and the impact on the related infrastructure will determine their development in the coming years.
ČSOB Advisory offers services in the areas of energy, water, transport and other infrastructure focused on: support in the implementation of strategic projects and investments, cost analysis and efficiency improvement, analysis of the bankability of business plans, feasibility studies, analysis of upcoming investments and their bankability, consulting in the energy sector, M&A advisory in acquisitions and sales of businesses in cooperation with partners from the ČSOB Group.
State and local government, with the primary objective of providing a public service to citizens, must operate efficiently, within a set budget, and must also ensure sustainable development.
For this sector we provide the following services: analysis of the financial stability of the municipality, analysis of the internal creditworthiness, assessment of financing and sustainability of strategic / investment projects, economic and financial advisory services in the field of energy and other infrastructures, restructuring of municipal companies (including the design of holding structures or optimisation of the ownership structure), monitoring of economic and operational performance.
Sustainability is a trend that is gaining importance in today's world and is making its way into all areas of business. It is also sometimes described by the acronym ESG (Environmental = the area examining the impact on the environment, Social = the area related to the people associated with the company, and Governance = the area dealing with the behaviour of management towards shareholders and the way the company is run). ESG aspects are becoming increasingly important for business owners and managers, their business partners and customers, and last but not least for financial institutions.
ČSOB Advisory, as a member of the ČSOB Group, is well aware of these requirements that affect and will affect companies in the area of sustainability, especially those arising from legislative obligations.
Consulting services in this segment include in particular: advice on the implementation of ESG principles, advice on obtaining sustainable financing ("Green Bonds / Green Loans"), preparation of plans for the transition to a low-emission economy, preparation of non-financial reporting ("NFRD/CSRD"), data collection and analysis of the carbon footprint ("CO2 footprint").
