Our Investors - Foundations
Our Investors.
Selling companies from Düsseldorf & Cologne
High profits in recent
years have led to enormous capital reserves among investors, who are now
looking for investment opportunities. Investments are being made in sustainable
business models, good market prospects, and scalable services. This is because
professional investors acquire companies in order to further develop their
sales and earnings, technologies, distribution, locations, etc. with capital,
strategic know-how, and, if necessary, operational support. These
optimizations, as well as synergy effects through further acquisitions, are the
growth drivers for acquired companies.
These buyers dominate the
M&A market:
Foundations.
Although they are hardly
visible to the public, foundations are also active in the M&A market and
often manage assets worth billions. Their objective is to increase the assets
contributed by the founder. To this end, they invest in corporate holdings,
among other forms of investment, with a focus on profitable, medium-sized
companies. After acquisition, these companies continue to be run in the same
way as before, without any influence on the management.
Foundations usually
acquire companies exclusively with equity capital.
