Business succession without a successor in the family
When no one in the family can or wants to continue the life's work, selling to the right new owner is the most responsible succession solution, for the company, its employees and for you.
The company should endure, just in new hands
Perhaps your children have chosen their own paths, perhaps there is no in-family solution, or perhaps you simply want to arrange in good time, and on your own terms, what is due anyway. The concern is almost always the same: Will the company be preserved as a whole? Are the jobs secure? Is there an owner who respects the culture rather than breaking it up?
This is exactly where our work lies. We do not chase the highest price at any cost, but the owner who fits the company, and then negotiate so that both come together: the continuation of your life's work and a result that does it justice.
Fitting owners, not highest bidders
From our network and database, 3,500 financial investors and family offices, more than 800,000 companies, we identify buyers who want to preserve locations, brand and workforce.
Discreet, structured outreach
Confidentiality is a prerequisite. We approach candidates anonymously first, you decide with whom you even enter into a conversation.
Negotiation through to closing
Purchase price, warranties, handover and the question of how long you stay on board, we structure the entire process and represent your interests consistently.
