05 / Preparation for Sucession Regulation

A study by the German Federation of Chambers of Commerce (DIHK) shows that more and more entrepreneurs are reaching the age of retirement and the number of owners who want to hand over their company has risen to a record level. At the same time, however, the study revealed that a large proportion of them are not sufficiently prepared for a possible handover. Our comprehensive succession consultancy for entrepreneurs has been adapted to the requirements of small to medium-sized companies. Our high level of solution orientation, speed and our capabilities in complex project management enable us to achieve optimum results for our customers. We prepare the handover with the greatest care, so that nothing will stand in the way of a successful succession regulation. In order to avoid stumbling blocks, or deal breakers, we check the legal preconditions, ownership structures, and revenue growth possibilities with extreme care (see also succession consultation).

Our intensive and comprehensive analysis guarantees the optimal succession solution for our customers. On request, we are available to our customers for further discussion (and in coordination with our client), for example by advising the selected successor/buyer in his financing.

If an internal (regulated) succession is not an option, we check the possibility of the sale of the company to an external investor. We prepare the entrepreneur and the company for sale. In close consultation with our customers, we identify possible buyers, using both our internal and our external databases. We support the entire sales process up to handover to the successor/investor.
