Company Succession
Shaping the future of your company is your job. Today in day-to-day business, tomorrow in strategic alignment, and beyond that in the question of who will take over your company.
The next chapter — you are the one who writes it. For the company, and for yourself personally. We help entrepreneurial personalities fill the blank page with personal opportunities and entrepreneurial possibilities — and bring their vision to life. If you already have a suitable successor in mind — for example within your leadership team — they will usually need a long-term, sustainable financing concept to manage the purchase price. But even if no successor is currently in sight, there are solutions: we have a well-established network of potential successors and offer appropriate financing models.
For example, you can empower your second management level to become entrepreneurs — a Management Buy Out (MBO). Or you can bring in an external individual who takes over the company shares together with us — a Management Buy In (MBI). We support both processes with strategic expertise, extensive experience, and, of course, equity capital. When necessary, we work together with co-investors and banks to build a sustainable structure that ensures the future viability of your company. In doing so, we help ensure that long-standing family businesses continue to thrive.
Change of Shareholders
It is sometimes necessary to change the shareholder structure in the interests of the company. Either a shareholder wants to leave the company or you as the managing partner want to offer to take over the shares. In both scenarios, it is important to proceed with sensitivity, especially when determining the financial value of the company, which can be complex.
In our experience, it is advisable to engage with us at an early stage as we have the required capital and structuring experience to enable you to acquire the shares with us.
We know which steps need to be taken in which order to ensure a successful change of ownership.
Growth
Are you planning rationalisation and expansion investments, would you like to access new markets, are you considering international collaborations or acquisition from competitors? Entrepreneur´s hearts beat faster at such moments, but often these and similar opportunities cannot be utilised because of a lack of financing. A strong equity base is essential for financing growth plans. Our equity capital is – according to the Basel III and IV regulations – an effective addition to the most limited credit financing for expansion plans.
