News & Events

First and foremost – in addition to our many years of practical experience in the SME sector – because we are one of the few companies that work exclusively for salespeople. Why is that crucial for you? Because it enables us to avoid conflicts of interest that would otherwise inevitably arise. Only with this clear positioning can we always give 110% for our sellers in tough negotiation situations.

Our management and M&A team knows what it means to be a medium-sized entrepreneur and knows your challenges inside out from their own experience.

Our unique investor platform and the network we have built up over many years guarantee you a broad market assessment and fast, concrete results.

The answer is always quite simple: The market sets the price.

A detailed company valuation costs time and money, produces well-founded yet more theoretical results. In our practical experience, an IDW S1 report or a detailed company valuation in advance is only really necessary in individual cases.

We obtain concrete offers from a large pool of potential buyers and in the bidding process you get the “right” and realistic price for your company, which honours your many years of commitment and life’s work.

Definitely. Just an offer is not an offer. The risk of entering the ring with just one specific interested party is far too high for your life’s work.

Our own platform and investor database contains around 200,000 interesting potential buyer companies (strategists and financial investors) in Europe alone. Our network, which has grown over many years, ensures the right contacts for every niche, no matter how small.

The law of large numbers in combination with a customised, graduated release process for information also brings you directly to the right buyer for you. However, in order to identify the right buyer, we would first like to get to know you, your company and, above all, your ideas for a sale! Anything else would not fit in with our understanding of quality and advice.

Give us a call or visit us – anonymously if you prefer – and we will be happy to get to know you.

Once again, it is important to note that we are not scouts and work exclusively for you as a salesperson!

Successful companies always have something, that others don’t have. Something that makes them unique or sets them apart from the rest of the market.

Our customers are often surprised at the “real” USP that we find together. Here you benefit immediately from our broad market overview, practical experience and countless conversations with SMEs and investors about what they value.

And for those who want a quick initial market assessment in advance, there is the pre-sales process: in a short time and with little effort, we obtain initial feedback from the potential buyer market for you. This also makes the step of actually entering the sales process much easier.

• Joint definition of the sales strategy and story
• Creation of sales documents, anonymous teaser and detailed memo Selection of potential target groups and (broad) market approach via our own platform and long-standing network of 20,000 companies in Europe alone
• Obtaining indicative offers (average target size: at least 10 interesting offers)
• Management meetings
• Identification of the most interesting buyer and conclusion of a letter of intent (“LOI”; letter of intent with specific conditions for the sale)
• Due diligence (DD): You provide the buyer with an insight into your company and help them to understand the company
• Signing / conclusion of purchase agreement
• Individual realisation with the buyer
• Possibly further activity as managing director, consultant, advisory board member in the company

Important to know:
To ensure that a sales process can be implemented effectively and with maximum tax advantages, it makes sense to prepare the company at an early stage, around 7 years before the actual transfer date. This will ensure an almost tax-free sale and maximise the value of the company for you and your family.

Here, too, you will find the best support from konzept and the cooperating law firms with experienced experts in tax and company law.

Yes, and no.
We use digitalisation, intelligent AI mechanisms and have connected a wide variety of platforms and databases. And yet everything is just a means to an end: a sufficient number of interesting, potential buyers is the necessary basis.

But a successful company sale depends on the right strategy and tactics, clever negotiation skills, empathy and asking the right questions in the right place. Our clients value this experience combined with the latest technical innovations.

Our priority is always your success. We believe that the value you receive from our collaboration will always exceed your expectations.
