DDPP

What DDPP does

DDPP (Doradztwo dla Polskich Przedsiębiorstw Corporate Finance Sp. z o.o. Sp. k.) is a Warsaw-based corporate finance advisory firm serving Polish enterprises, entrepreneurs, and domestic/international investment funds. The firm specializes in complex business-financial and transactional advisory, including capital development strategy, financial optimization, restructuring, valuations, and transaction document preparation (prospectuses, information memoranda). Its core offerings span IPO and Pre-IPO advisory, M&A transactions, Private Equity/Venture Capital financing, MBO and LBO structuring, debt and hybrid instrument financing, and a dedicated hostile takeover defense practice. The firm does not develop technology products; its capability stack rests on senior human expertise rather than proprietary technology.

The firm is led by two licensed securities stockbrokers — President Piotr Raczyński (33 years on the Polish capital market, prior roles at Societe Generale, Erste Securities, Ernst & Young, and Grupa Millennium) and Partner Krzysztof Skoczyński (30 years, prior roles at Societe Generale, Grupa Pekao, Bank Handlowy, and Grupa Millennium) — both alumni of the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH). DDPP has been a Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) recommended Financial Advisor within the Partner Company to the SME programme since June 2005 and maintains long-term cooperation with major Polish and international banks and advisory firms. Reported headcount is 177, though this appears inconsistent with the boutique advisory profile described and may reflect an input data anomaly.

DDPP's revenue model is professional services: quote-based, scope-tailored advisory fees tied to the complexity of each capital market engagement, with no publicly disclosed pricing, no recurring SaaS or subscription component, and no external institutional investors. The firm has documented transaction experience with at least 26 named Polish enterprise clients across manufacturing, automotive, pharmaceuticals, food processing, banking, healthcare, paints, aluminum, and IT/TMT sectors. Distribution is relationship-led — primarily through referrals from established investment-bank partners, GPW programme visibility, and direct enterprise engagement — rather than through any outbound marketing or self-serve channel.
