Succession planning & M&A

Business succession & M&A with skill.

Get the future right. A generational change is one of the greatest challenges for a company — it is not only about material and financial factors, but also about a great deal of emotion. We support you from the first assessment until after the deal is closed.

A life's work deserves a careful handover.

Whether within the family, to employees or to external buyers: a succession needs time, trust and a clear structure. We keep an eye on the figures, the contracts and the people.

In M&A transactions we advise you holistically, taking into account your economic and tax situation — such as continued employment in the sold company, effects on social security, children, inheritance and marriage.

FAQ

Good to know.

When should I start succession planning?

As early as possible — ideally three to five years before the planned handover. That leaves time to prepare the company optimally, find the right solution and make use of tax planning options.

How is the value of my company determined?

Depending on the company, different methods are used — often a combination of earnings value and net asset value, or a discounted cash flow valuation. We prepare a comprehensible valuation as the basis for price negotiations.

Will the sale remain confidential?

Yes. Interested parties first receive an anonymised short profile; confidential information is only shared after a non-disclosure agreement has been signed. Employees, clients and suppliers are only informed when you decide.
