Our Investors - Private Equity
Our Investors.
Selling companies from Munich & Berlin
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:
Private Equity.
Private equity investments are a key driver of growth, innovation, transformation, and internationalization in the German economy. Around 12% of German SMEs are now owned by private equity firms and most of them are recording well above-average growth in sales, profits, and employee numbers. The name and location of acquired SMEs are retained.
Private equity usually pursues a buy-and-build strategy, i.e., it buys a large number of companies in a selected industry and develops them into as dominant a group as possible with a defined exit target in mind. Particular emphasis is placed on continuity in corporate management. The seller is offered attractive opportunities for reinvestment, allowing them to benefit from the profit growth achieved. When the reinvestment is subsequently sold, its valuation is based on the higher profit achieved, which can significantly increase the total proceeds of the sale.
