KERN – M&A consulting for company sales and succession planning in Eisenach and Thuringia

KERN professionally accompanied and implemented my company sale from start to finish. Finding a buyer was surprisingly quick and the subsequent succession process was competently accompanied and moderated at all times.

Thank you very much for your presentation at our conference. The unanimously positive feedback from the 150 members of the audience confirmed how important your topics are and that you were very convincing as a speaker from KERN.

I would like to thank you very much for your support during the sale of the company. The speed was impressive, the form always appropriate to the situation, the behaviour honest and unpretentious - it couldn't have been better! Thanks to your support, we were able to conclude this project satisfactorily for all of us.

The KERN team was recommended to me as part of our company sale and, in retrospect, we are very glad to have received this tip. The negotiation process for the sale was complex, lengthy and sometimes threatened by emotional misunderstandings in the outcome. However, thanks to the great experience and skill of our KERN consultant, we achieved our goal and can definitely recommend working with KERN.

In the context of my company succession, the merger with a competitor company was the ideal solution. The KERN team, and especially Mr. Koerber, accompanied us sensitively as a moderator and process facilitator and combined the interests of both negotiating partners well. Without the view from outside and the negotiating experience, we would probably never have reached our goal so quickly and safely!

Mr Greppmair from KERN assisted me with the sale of my caretaker service in Munich in an always pleasant and very competent manner. In just nine months, he managed to sell my company at a satisfactory price despite falling sales and the Corona crisis. In doing so, he made a decisive contribution to a new life plan that I had longed for for a long time. Many thanks for that!

The cooperation over the past months has been characterised by professionalism and trust; I, too, have always felt well represented by you, even though I have been not was your client. All the greater the compliment! MANY THANKS!

Change also means dealing with the culture, the goals, the responsibilities and the "rules of the game" in a company. With KERN, we have embarked on the exciting path of creating our own individual corporate philosophy and have been surprised at the great energies that have been released in all of us. For the benefit of our customers, employees and the entire company. Thanks to KERN for the targeted and professional moderation and development.

Rarely has the feedback from the audience been so unanimously positive! You conveyed the topic authentically and with heart in every respect. I hope that family businesses will take advantage of your recommendations.

We had our growth strategy accompanied by the specialists from KERN. With a precise target analysis and detailed market research, we succeeded in finding exactly the right company for our particular niche. The effort involved in such a step should not be underestimated. With KERN, we have found professional support. At the same time, the succession problem of the company to be taken over could be solved substantially and in the long term.

Especially in the difficult phases, my advisor closed the gaps and paved the way for a further negotiation.
Everything was professional and reliable, meetings outside normal business hours were possible at any time.
Professionally, I feel comprehensive and in good hands, the successful conclusion is an expression of KERN competence!

I have very much enjoyed working with KERN and, as a representative of the buyer side, am always pleased when sellers - especially family businesses - receive holistic advice and are specifically prepared for a sale.

KERN's coaching has clearly opened up a path for my son, with which we can now dedicate ourselves together to the project of generational change, in the sense of continuing the family business. We as parents simply cannot convey some things in the same way and help to realise how a professional coach can.

My pre-selection decision to 100% proved to be the right one. KERN did a really good job from the preparation of my company in an exposé, to the search for buyers, to the facilitation of negotiations and the complete implementation of my succession. In particular, the seriousness and professionalism gave me a secure feeling at all times. Our goal was successfully achieved in a good 8 months. I am happy to recommend KERN to others.

MeinSTABWECHSEL is an exciting method for a sustainable change of leadership in family businesses. With amazing ease, you find your own values and needs.
The goal, path and time frame appeared to me at the end of the journey as a 3D vision for my personal baton change. So I worked out my "to do list" myself in the best atmosphere and guidance from KERN.

I am happy to have chosen KERN as my advisor in my succession process. I also checked out other offers beforehand and the reliability and security of KERN was the decisive criterion for me. I felt optimally supported by my KERN consultant at all times. Even the particularly difficult tasks, such as financing questions and the drafting of contracts, were solved in the best possible way. From me again and again!
