​What clients engage us for

Company Sale — You want to sell your company in whole or in part, for example as part of succession planning. We manage the entire process, from finding buyers through to closing.

Company Acquisition — You want to grow through acquisition. Whether the target is already identified or still to be found, we handle confidential outreach, valuation and negotiation — including support for foreign buyers acquiring in German-speaking markets.

MBO and MBI — As a manager, you want to acquire a business but can't finance it alone. We structure the transaction and find the right capital partners.

Fairness Check — You have received a purchase offer. We review the valuation, structure and terms, and show you your negotiating room and alternatives.

Exit-Fitness Programme — A sale isn't imminent. We build the value drivers so your company is ready to sell at the best possible value when the time comes.

Three reasons clients choose us

Mittelstand only. On one side, an entrepreneur for whom the business is more than a number. On the other, an investor or a large corporate with clear expectations around process, documentation and internal alignment. We understand both mindsets and bring them together — in the interest of our respective client. That's why owners, private equity firms and foreign buyers engage us alike.

The founding partner leads every mandate — not just responsible for it, but at the table himself. Approaching buyers, negotiating, coordinating. No rotating team, no mandate handed off to a junior team after the pitch. Deliberately limited to three to four actively managed mandates at a time — so the promise to lead every mandate personally can actually be kept.

Lean processes, not standard procedure. Every process is adapted to the situation, not taken from a playbook. We speak directly with decision-makers — with the buyer's side in a sale, with the target's owner in an acquisition. That means shorter paths, faster decisions and a stronger negotiating position.

Focus and expertise

Company and transaction size — Our focus is on companies with EUR 10 to 150 million in revenue and transaction values between EUR 5 and 50 million.

Industries — Mandates come mainly from four fields: Industrial Manufacturing — 25+ transactions · Consumer Goods and Food — 15+ · Services, IT and Media — 13+ · Trade and Distribution — 10+

Clients — Owners and family businesses. Private equity firms and family offices. Strategic buyers from Germany and abroad looking to acquire in the German Mittelstand.

National and international transactions — Around 60% of transactions are cross-border. Where local market access is needed, we work with established M&A firms in Europe, North America and Asia.
