Succession Management

As an entrepreneur you have been successfully building your company for many years with great commitment. Now you are entering a new phase of life. Especially now it is important to have a qualified consultant, who will support you with the succession planning of your company.

There is hardly anything that affects entrepreneurs, chairmen, employees, and often also the public, more than handing over a company to a new leadership. If the question of succession is resolved successfully, either from within or outside the company, jobs are retained and new ones may even be created. Every successful succession planning secures the regional and national position. Survey shows that 675,000 companies with approx. 4 million employees will be witnessing a change in generation over the next ten years. 370,000 family businesses out of these will be faced with a generational change already in the next five years. Practice shows that there are enough qualified prospective buyers. The difficulty is rather finding the suitable candidate at the right time. We have focused our efforts on this particular challenge during the last two decades: the preparation and execution of company transitions.

As regards legal and taxation matters, we consult with longstanding cooperation partners, who are well versed in these complex subjects. We will also be happy to work confidentially with your tax accountant and/or solicitor, should you wish so.
