Management

SPRINT! was founded to meet the need for specialised consulting in transaction management, business reengineering, people development and strategic marketing for Western and Eastern European companies investing together in South-Eastern Europe, particularly the Balkans. We have supported many foreign and local companies entering the Albanian, Kosovar, Montenegrin and North Macedonian markets, from the first investment proposal to running the business.

Investment and transaction management

Whether acquiring or establishing a business, a start-up or a spin-off, a merger or a reorganisation, SPRINT! advises and accompanies its clients through every stage until the new business is in place.

A sound strategy, thorough due diligence, the right partner, a streamlined bid, clear communication and structured negotiations make the bidder the winner. SPRINT! develops and carries out exactly this with its clients.

Business reengineering

Organic growth or diversification, new products or production lines: they strengthen a business when they rest on a sound business and financing case, and on organisational structures, standards and procedures that are realistic and achievable.

SPRINT! brings experienced staff into each of these processes so that both sides reach their goals and the business and capital investment keep their best value.

Executive search and human resources

The right people give life to businesses and visions. They are an asset that needs close attention and focused management. SPRINT! carries out a thorough management audit and creates, with and for its clients, the selection, training and development programme for every level of management.

Combining current management practice with the specifics of each business, SPRINT! gives the selected teams a rounded, multicultural development perspective.

Strategic marketing and communication

While a new business takes shape and grows, SPRINT! helps its clients express the corporate mission and objectives and carry the corporate culture into local subsidiaries.

From tailored marketing plans to communication channels with the media and your customers, SPRINT! combines your corporate values with local character so that your business stands out from its peers.
