WE ARE SELECTIVELY SEARCHING FOR ADDITIONAL MAJORITY INVESTMENTS

ADVANTAGES FOR SHAREHOLDERS

With us, shareholders can continue to hold a significant participation

Risk diversification

Some of the capital tied up in the company can be put behind the personal firewall.

Above-average increase in value

By bundling several companies into one group, the value of the whole group usually increases over-proportionally – the group is worth more than the sum of its parts.

Structuring of a management succession (if required)

Depending on the current situation, a succession can be jointly developed and structured. We have experience in this area and are happy to provide support if needed.
