Business Succession through Active Outreach.
We don’t wait for leads – we proactively approach thousands of vetted candidates and negotiate daily. This is how we find the right successor for your business, not just a random enquiry.
For Business Owners Looking to Sell
According to the Institut für Mittelstandsforschung Bonn (IfM Bonn), roughly 150,000 German SMEs with a combined 2.4 million employees were due for succession between 2018 and 2022 – most of them for age-related reasons. A large share of these successions fail not because of the business itself, but because no suitable successor is found. This is exactly where we come in: instead of waiting for an interested party to come forward, we actively search. We provide a realistic valuation of your business, systematically approach candidates from our growing database, and guide you all the way to a signed contract – discreetly and with a clear roadmap.
For Successors Looking to Acquire a Business
You want to take over an established business rather than starting from scratch – an approach increasingly pursued in a structured way through so-called Search Funds (Entrepreneurship through Acquisition). Every day, we compile new, suitable businesses from our network and are in contact and negotiation with thousands of candidates. Get in touch with us – we will match your profile with fitting sales mandates and guide you through valuation, negotiation, and closing.
Our Services
From valuation to closing – everything from a single source.
Business Valuation
We determine a realistic, market-appropriate business value – the foundation for every successful succession and every price negotiation.
Active Successor Search
Unlike traditional succession marketplaces, we don’t rely on chance. We engage in active outreach: systematically approaching candidates from our constantly growing database, conducting daily conversations and negotiations, and carefully qualifying every prospect before introducing them to you.
Support Through to Closing
From the initial outreach through negotiations and due diligence to the final signing – we stay by your side until the handover is complete.
Why Active Outreach Makes the Difference
Most succession solutions fail not because of valuation, but because of a lack of access to the right candidates. That is why we don’t rely on listings or passive marketplaces. We maintain a database of thousands of candidates – individual investors, executives, strategic buyers, and investment firms – that grows every day. Our team is in continuous contact and negotiation with these candidates, enabling us to quickly identify a circle of seriously interested, vetted successors for every mandate. The result: shorter processes, better-matched successors, and a higher success rate.
Our Process
Four clear steps to a successful business succession.
Initial Consultation
We get to know you, your business, or your acquisition profile – no commitment, fully confidential.
Valuation
We develop a thorough assessment of the business value as the basis for all further steps.
Active Candidate Search
We systematically approach suitable candidates from our database and conduct initial conversations and negotiations.
Negotiation & Closing
We support contract negotiations, due diligence, and the final signing through to a successful transition.
About Us
Business succession is more than a transfer of ownership – it concerns people, employees, and values built over years. Unlike many consultancies that wait for incoming enquiries, we consistently rely on active outreach: we search, we approach, we negotiate – every day. Our growing candidate database and the close, ongoing communication with prospects are the foundation of our success. We work on behalf of both sellers and successors, with clear mandate separation, the utmost care, and full discretion.
