The mission statement. Our values in daily interaction
CORE ? Company Succession. More successful. ? was founded in 2004 as a consulting company. The background was the founder’s own experience in his own family business. In 15 years of practical experience of generational change and the purchase and sale of companies, the mistakes and successes led to the subsequent founding of KERN.
The prerequisite, even before the foundation, was a stable set of values for future work both internally and externally. On this basis of a mission statement, KERN has continued to develop successfully over the years and is today nationwide as well as in Switzerland, Poland and Austria, the Leading consulting brand in the segment of corporate succession (M&A) for family businesses.
Exclusively with this focus, KERN advises on many locations in the D-A-CH ? region as well as Poland, the purchase and sale (M&A) of companies in the SME sector or accompanies intra-family generational change processes.
KERN is free and independent.
In spring 2016, we reoriented our joint mission statement in a workshop with all partners and locations. This resulted in a clear vision and mission as well as seven important guiding principles.
By the way, good advice is not expensive, but worse priceless. Our fees are transparent, performance-oriented, comprehensible and free of unpleasant surprises. Every initial consultation is free of charge, but not free of charge for you. You can decide at your leisure and without risk whether we are the right partner for you.
By the way, we are the only M&A experts who can handle your company sale via a Special M&A guarantee insure. Without risk for you.
