STUDIO SCHIRO & PARTNERS has been an independent “financial adviser” working for Italian enterprises in Italy and abroad since 2000. Its “mission” is to offer innovative solutions to enterprises, especially SMEs, acting as an independent and qualified partner. The challenge for STUDIO SCHIRO & PARTNERS consists in the collaboration with entrepreneurs and/or managers of small and/or medium-sized enterprises during the decision-making processes aimed at defining the best strategic choices and/or the optimal financial paths, from the earliest steps up to global expansion, without excluding any possible option of business reorganization. In its – brief – life, STUDIO SCHIRO & PARTNERS has also developed a proven track record in raising capital for the development of enterprises and SMEs, specializing in the organization and syndication of operations of extraordinary finance. It also boasts expertise in the sponsoring of complex operations and in corporate restructuring through its international partners and the market of capitals. In periods of scarce liquidity and difficulty in obtaining steady or long-term financial means, the alternative provided by the venture capital or private equity as well as by the issuing of obligations can be discriminating for the life and growth of SMEs. Since the beginning, STUDIO SCHIRO & PARTNERS has understood that a distinctive factor of success for the development of SMEs is the expansion of their horizons, not only in terms of markets, but also of the positioning of business in a territorial perspective going beyond national borders: in a word, “internationalization.” This explains the focus on operating towards a specific close area providing several business opportunities, such as that of the Eastern-European markets, and especially the Balkans. This strategic approach has allowed for the development of international collaborations which generate development opportunities for Italian enterprises.
