We solve your company’s succession planning needs. Our aim is to sustainably secure the further development of your company whilst providing you with the best framework, total freedom and new perspectives!
Our research team is actively looking for successful companies that – from the outside – seem to have an unsolved succession problem or find themselves in a new phase of growth and in need of a strong financial partner.
We work on behalf of leading financial investors and wealthy families. We only represent reputable and very experienced investors who are looking for successful long-term growth in a company. No locusts, no gamblers, no bloodsuckers – but good, strong hands and renowned names!
Neither the selling party nor any shareholders will incur any costs. We do not charge daily or monthly lump sums nor will a commission fee be paid by the seller. We are paid exclusively by our clients (the buyers) upon the successful conclusion of the deal.
We have an extremely broad base of clients with a focus on the IT, software, cloud services, technology, industrial and services industries. We enquire about the situation, wishes and ideas of potential sellers thoroughly and only facilitate a deal if we are sure that we can ‘offer’ a suitable buyer. For obvious reasons, we have no interest in wasting anyone’s time including that of our clients.
Only if the personal goals of the seller and the ideas for the future for his or her company match with the ideas of our investors, can we begin working together!

Our research staff are highly trained specialists who have proven their expertise in sales and marketing positions with renowned M&A consultants and transaction service providers. The German SMEs are very familiar to all in the team based on previous activities – and you can certainly feel it (whether it be on the phone or behind the scenes)! Even though we work on behalf of the investors, our hearts still beat for the entrepreneurs and shareholders who want to hand over their life’s work into the right hands.
When you talk to us or our investors, neither the competition, the customers, the press nor even your staff will ever get wind of it. We are 100% discrete at all times. We guarantee that!
We guarantee absolute commitment, professionalism and professional competence. We keep the promises we have made, so our word is as strong as a contract. Our investors demand this.
We are experts in corporate succession. This includes questions about the organisation and course of a negotiation or takeover, as well as models of calculating company value, but also tax and legal aspects. We are happy to share this knowledge!
We are not representatives of the buying party but see ourselves as intermediaries who want to find perfect matches and bring them together. In our statements and assessments, we are always open, objective and impartial.
