Succession issues

One of the greatest challenges for the entrepreneur in a small or medium sized business is to successfully resolve the issue of succession. We know from our long experience how difficult and emotionally fraught this process can become. At the beginning, we prepare a comprehensive documentation of the personal situation and the interests of all company shareholders. On the basis of this list we will then develop an appropriate strategy to prepare the shareholder structure and the company for the future. Possible scenarios are

  • the identification of a successor within the family, possibly by inviting a financial investor
  • the transfer of the company to the executive management (MBO)
  • the sale of an interest in or the whole of the company to a suitable buyer or
  • the widespread placement of interests in the company at a stock exchange

In each of these cases we are able to provide the entrepreneur or the shareholders with professional and comprehensive assistance.
