About

In every deal we go deeper than numbers; the specific dynamics of corporate stakeholders and each family, family member, and their situation have to be understood to ensure complete satisfaction. This approach provides the transparency, integrity and exacting level of execution that have earned and retained the trust of our clients.
RIóN is known throughout the region for our access to decision makers in the business and finance communities as well as our partnership with M&A firms all over the world. More than two thirds of our closed deals have matched Mexican family companies with corporations, and one third has included participants from outside Mexico.

Our way of thinking
No quality M&A advice has ever been provided by only thinking about fees.
Our process and fee structure
Our ethics and integrity are founded in our 25 years of experience and clear rules of engagement. To ensure alignment with our client, we collect a success fee; our success depends on the success of our client.
Are we the right match?
- We see our clients as co-partners and focus on the transaction that really has a chance of succeeding and getting closed. Before entering into an engagement, we carefully consider the value that we can provide, and we advise potential clients to evaluate if RIóN will serve their needs.
- To ensure that we will fulfill short and long term goals and create new opportunities and possibilities for our client, we invest enough initial meetings before we propose any fees.
Circumstances can change
- We know that during a transaction circumstances can change in both a family company and a corporate company. We see ourselves in the same boat as our clients; and if the decision to enter into a transaction does no longer seem right, we will take the family and the company safely out the deal again.
- To ensure clear rules of engagement, always protecting our client, the initial part of any deal involves a modest amount non-contingent fees.
Moving forward to close the transaction
- When full trust in the decision, process, and short and long term goals is established, we move forward to close the transaction within the defined timeline.
