A confidential conversation · 30 minutes
Clarify your next decision.
A useful first conversation creates clarity. In thirty minutes you and Kelvin will work through the objective, the timing, the real constraint, and whether Klatt M&A is the right firm for the next step.
Book the call
Choose a time that works for you.
The calendar shows availability in your own time zone. After booking you will get a confirmation and a short preparation note.
Or write first
Some things are easier in writing.
If you would rather set out the situation before committing to a call, send a note. Kelvin reads and answers these himself, usually within one working day.
Before you write
You do not need to attach anything. Three sentences on what you own or what you are looking for, why now, and what the main uncertainty is will get you a more useful reply than a data pack would.
Every enquiry is treated as confidential. We sign an NDA before receiving any company information — ask, and we will send ours, or sign yours.
Thank you — your note has arrived. Kelvin reads these himself and will reply personally, usually within one working day. If you would rather not wait, you can book a time directly at calendly.com/kelvinklatt/30min.

What the call is for
Leave with a clearer view of the decision.
Thirty minutes of the same thinking we would apply if you were already a client — which is the only honest way for you to judge whether you want us to be.
The objective
What you are actually trying to achieve, on what timeline, and what would make the outcome a good one for you rather than a defensible one on paper.
The constraint
The single issue most likely to weaken readiness or slow execution. There is almost always one, and it is rarely the one people expect.
The fit
Whether the situation fits our Iberian lower-middle-market focus, and whether we have the capacity to take it on properly right now.
The next step
The most useful thing to do next — or the honest conclusion that no engagement is needed, and who else you should speak to.
What this call is not: a formal valuation, a legal opinion, a financing commitment or a guarantee of a transaction. Those need information, scope and written terms.
Who the call is useful for
Whichever side of the table you are on.
If you own the company
You are somewhere on the road to an exit
You are considering a full or partial sale, a succession, or an investor partnership — or you simply want to understand what a buyer would test before you commit to anything. Some of the most useful calls we have are with owners who are three years away.

You have a thesis and need it to become a pipeline
You have an acquisition thesis, an active search or a buy-and-build plan, and you need better origination or execution in Iberia than you can run from outside it. Bring the criteria; we will tell you honestly how findable they are.

Who you will be talking to
“Most owners only sell once. That should not be the reason they get less than their life's work is worth.”
Kelvin Klatt, founder. Dutch, based in Lisbon, and the person who runs every mandate this firm takes on — from the first confidential conversation through to signing.
