Who we are
A partner for complex transactions
PERSEUS Group is a private advisory group operating in Central and Eastern Europe. We started out in mergers & acquisitions between local companies and their foreign partners and gradually specialised in transactions with privately owned companies, especially those in financial difficulty, and in real estate transactions in which our clients invest in selected assets to increase their value.
Just as the mythical Perseus was the son of Zeus and the mortal Danaë, PERSEUS Group is a joint venture of the best local professionals and experienced international experts. Combining international know-how with in-depth knowledge of local conditions, we offer our clients a full range of services.
Just as Perseus defeated the ancient titans, PERSEUS Group competes with the largest investment banks – offering high-quality services at prices that are affordable for clients from Central and Eastern Europe.

Since 2002 we have been building the trust of private and institutional clients through a professional approach, discretion, speed and a unique fee structure focused on the client’s benefit.
