THE ANALISYS

An analysis of a company always needs to be embedded into its environment. DBA will always make its own effort of providing additional information and analysis to management on their company and markets. In today's world, it is not much of a problem to get information. Data about the market, the environment and competition can be freely obtained and analysed. These sources, combined with the network of DBA, provides our clients with valuable new insights, which leads to a better understanding of the relative position of the company and its own strengths and weaknesses as well as its opportunities and threats.


INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Financial needs are a direct consequence of the strategy of the company. Having an overview of the company's needs at present as well as in the medium term is a vital condition for effective financial management. Understanding one's own business and managing such business in line with today's requirements demands up to date knowledge and skills. Budgeting and planning are some of the key functions that need to be applied. Having a clear idea of the business expectations in terms of sales, costs and margin, contributes to a better understanding of one's own business. Our assistance, suggestions and sometimes technical support are usually very appreciated by our clients. Often financiers want to understand the needs of a company, not only to align their own strategy toward a client, but more specifically to understand and analyse management capacity to adequately run their business. A lot can be learnt by asking management what the bank could do besides its already existing business. Management needs to be able to clearly explain its strategy and its investment strategy, which investments are being anticipated and how management expects to finance these, for these are some of the crucial and frequently returning discussion points in healthy bank-client relationships. DBA will provide a solid support to this end.


DBA DOES NOT SELL MIRACLES

We have chosen to be the long term provider of financial and management support to corporations and institutions in those areas we know we have an added value. We have not chosen to collaborate with the financial side of the business. Our key interest is to position ourselves in the corporate side of the business. We do not sell credit. We are neither an intermediary in the direct sense of the word, since we usually do not represent our clients externally. We merely want to be the firm that helps our clients to do a better job. And we know that we can achieve it. A client who works on "his own" can operate out of strength, and that is exactly what we want our clients to do: to operate on strength rather than on necessity. We will be there, but rather not visibly.
