Working together

One call with the people who decide

We work directly with your team. Your contacts are the same people who sign at the end.

Deal structuring

Two routes by stake, each as a platform or an add-on

The stake decides the route: full acquisition (100%) or a majority with a reinvestment. Both routes work as a platform or as an add-on to an existing platform, also as a carve-out from a group. We work out the right structure together with the client.

Route 1

Full acquisition (100%)

100% of the shares sold
Most of the price paid in cash at closing
Orderly handover, with the owner as managing director for 6 to 24 months

Route 2

Majority with a reinvestment

Majority of the shares sold
Reinvestment in the growth of the company
Advisory board role, sharing in growth

Terms and mechanics

Response usually within 72 hours

After a complete teaser or IM we usually give a qualified response within 72 hours. The next steps are agreed individually.

Focused due diligence

We review finance, tax, legal, HR and operations with a lean buy-side team.

SPA and warranties

The SPA sets the purchase price, warranties, indemnities and closing conditions. We work with standard, fair warranties and use W&I insurance where it makes sense.

Earn-out and vendor loan

Where valuations differ, we structure an earn-out or a vendor loan with clear KPIs and reporting rights.

From signing to closing

Between signing and closing the conditions precedent are met, for example merger clearance, bank consent or change-of-control approvals.

Employee transfer (§ 613a German Civil Code)

All employment relationships transfer with all rights and obligations. We communicate openly and keep the team together.
