Advised by Zerbach & Company Corporate Finance GmbH, the owners of GERMANIA Inkasso-Dienst GmbH & Co. KG and EURANIA AG, headquartered in Deggendorf, Bavaria, successfully implemented their succession and found in a renowned Munich family office a partner that will continue to accompany the company's success story as a long-term and lastingly committed owner.
The GERMANIA Group, founded more than 30 years ago by Hermann Lehner, positions itself towards its B2B customers as a service provider that supports its clients in all aspects of receivables management. The focus here is not on automated mass collection but on case-related, individual support for customers on flexible matters. As a unique selling point in the competitive landscape, GERMANIA is supported by a nationwide field force for debtor processing. This enables the company to be perceived by its customers as a comprehensive service provider for outsourced receivables management. The result is long-standing, stable customer relationships.
As part of securing the succession, the owners mandated Zerbach & Company as exclusive corporate finance advisor to search for suitable partners with a view to permanently safeguarding the continued existence of the company and the jobs at the Deggendorf site.
One decisive factor was, among others, the long-standing sector expertise of Zerbach & Company, as the GERMANIA transaction was already the partners' fourth successfully completed transaction in the German debt collection market and the first in the B2B segment. Previously, the sale of Dausend Inkasso to the Norwegian company Lindorff (in 2006), the sale of Tesch Inkasso to Avedon Capital Partners (in 2012) and the sale of the BID Bayerischer Inkasso-Dienst group of companies to Obermark (in 2018) had already been successfully realised.
