Succession & Buy-and-Build
Preserving entrepreneurial achievement and building stronger businesses through thoughtful acquisitions and operational development.
Our approach
Preserve what works.
Build what comes next.
We identify attractive established businesses and work with owners, leadership teams and investment partners to develop long-term investment platforms. Every opportunity is reviewed individually; there is no one-size-fits-all ownership model.

Acquiring businesses.
Building their next chapter.
As part of our succession and buy-and-build investment activities, we are currently pursuing acquisition opportunities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We are particularly interested in established businesses facing ownership succession, attractive platform opportunities and add-on acquisitions in fragmented markets.
Our approach starts with the business and the people behind it. Transaction structure, ownership arrangements and company size are assessed individually.
