Questions we hear most often — answered honestly.
We primarily work with mid-market businesses in the ₹15 crore to ₹500 crore revenue range — manufacturing companies, family-owned enterprises, promoter-led businesses, and growth-stage companies across Maharashtra, Gujarat, and other key Indian markets. We also work with larger corporates on specific transactions and with institutional investors evaluating strategic opportunities.
We work across a range of transaction sizes, but our focus is on mandates where our involvement creates meaningful value. Typically, that means businesses with revenues above ₹15 crore and transactions involving capital of ₹5 crore or more. For workshops and seminars, there is no minimum — we welcome founders at any stage of thinking.
Every mandate at Exsquare Allianze is led personally by Vishwajeet Gawale. We do not hand your file to an analyst team after the first meeting. This is a deliberate choice — we take a limited number of active mandates at any given time, precisely so that every client receives senior-level attention throughout the engagement.
A typical capital raising engagement runs over three to six months, depending on the complexity of the business and the structure of the transaction. It begins with a period of financial positioning and documentation preparation (four to six weeks), followed by targeted investor outreach, meetings, and negotiation. We manage the full process from start to close. Timelines vary — we will give you a realistic assessment at our first meeting.
Do not respond substantively until you have independent advice. Unsolicited interest almost always comes with an initial valuation that is in the acquirer's favour — they have done their homework on your business, and you need to do yours before any conversation proceeds. Call us. We will help you assess the seriousness of the approach, understand your real valuation, and determine how to respond in a way that protects your interests.
Our fee structure depends on the nature of the engagement. For transaction mandates (capital raising, M&A, restructuring), we typically charge a combination of a retainer and a success fee linked to the completion of the transaction. For advisory and valuation work, we charge on a project or time basis. We are transparent about our fees from the first meeting and will provide a clear engagement letter before any work begins.
Completely. Everything discussed in our initial conversations — and throughout any engagement — is treated with complete confidentiality. We operate under strict professional standards and will sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement at the outset of any engagement where sensitive business information is shared.
The free seminar is a one-hour session with Vishwajeet Gawale, designed to give business owners a clear overview of how mid-market businesses are valued and assessed by investors — with practical takeaways. It is introductory and broad. The paid one-day workshops are intensive, full-day working sessions on a single subject — capital raising, business exits, or debt management — where participants work through frameworks and leave with a specific plan for their own business. The workshops are limited in size and priced at ₹50,000 per participant.
