Generation Tech Partners Referral Form

Thank you for your interest in continuing the legacy of a business owner through employee ownership. This form provides context on our acquisition criteria and helps us learn more about your business. The form will take less than 10 minutes to complete.

All information provided will be held strictly confidential.

Generation Tech Partners' mission is to lead small businesses into a successful future - through entrepreneurial succession and employee ownership.

We are entrepreneurs, not bureaucrats, and are one of the most active buyers of small businesses in Germany. Our focus is on pragmatic and fast negotiations directly with the owners - together at one table, without complicated legal hurdles. With the experience of building up more than 15 companies and the support of some of Germany's most renowned entrepreneurs, we ensure sustainable transitions for businesses whose owners are retiring.

If you recommend a business for us to buy and are not mandated by the seller, we pay a finder's fee of 1% of the purchase price once the transaction is completed.

Generation Tech Partners has very narrow criteria that unfortunately means that 99% of opportunities that come our way are not a fit. The criteria include:
- Retirement-driven sale with owners of true retirement age (50+) and retiring from the industry
- Two or fewer retiring owners
- Two or more managers
- €500K+ EBITDA with minimum 10% profit margins
- Seller Discretionary Earnings: €500K – €3M in at least four of the last five years (verifiable tax returns)

Please fill out a separate form for each listing you are referring.

What is your Role? *
(e.g. Highly Rated Restaurant & Bar, Manufacturing Business in Hamburg)
Is this a retirement sale or full industry exit? *
Does the business have steady, tax-return provable SDE / EBITDA of at least 500,000€? *
How many active owners work in the business? *
Does the company have key employees (i.e. GM, bookkeeper, etc.) who will remain post-transaction? *
Is the company and ownership at least 8 years old? *
Is the business based in Germany? *
