KERN - M&A Beratung für Unter­nehmens­verkauf & Unternehmens­nachfolge Hannover

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

Sie, liebe Frau Kalon­da, haben dieses Jahr zu einem beson­de­ren Jahr für mich werden lassen. Dafür danke ich Ihnen. Bei unserem ersten Kontakt konnte ich nicht annähernd erken­nen wie wichtig und wie wegwei­send sie für mich werden würden. Dieses Jahr wurde durch sie zu einem neuen Anfang für mich. Mental haben sie einen sehr großen Anteil daran, dass es aufwärts geht und ich freier in meinen Gedan­ken und Entschei­dun­gen bin. Auch wenn ich mich zum Sklaven meiner eigenen Firma und meiner Mitar­bei­ten­den und Anwesen­den gemacht habe, haben sie mich daraus befreit. Dafür mein beson­de­rer Dank. 

Den Umfang und die Tiefe der erfor­der­li­chen Aufar­bei­tung der Unter­neh­mens­da­ten für einen Verkauf habe ich unter­schätzt. Ohne die hoch kompe­ten­te und jeder­zeit unter­stüt­zen­de und motivie­ren­de Beglei­tung meines Beraters, Herrn Kehrein, wäre die erfolg­rei­che Veräu­ße­rung meiner Firma so nicht möglich gewesen. Zudem habe ich sehr von der “Außen­sicht” auf das Unter­neh­men profi­tiert sowie selbst­ver­ständ­lich von dem Know-How, welche Quellen mit Inter­es­sen­ten es geben kann. Die Betreu­ung war derart umfäng­lich und zu jeder Zeit präsent, dass ich nicht nur den notwen­di­gen Exper­ten an meiner Seite hatte, sondern einen echten Partner, der meine Inter­es­sen zu seinen gemacht hat. Das ist neben aller Profes­sio­na­li­tät, die man erwar­ten sollte, sicher mehr als die meisten Berater in diesem Segment leisten.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

From start to finish, from the search for a suita­ble compa­ny to the successful
Abschluss, war die Zusam­men­ar­beit mit Frau Kalon­da zuver­läs­sig und profes­sio­nell.
During the ups and downs of a compa­ny acqui­si­ti­on, the invol­vement of a KERN consul­tant as a
Sparrings­part­ner und lösungs­ori­en­tier­ter Wegbe­rei­ter in den vielen Verhand­lungs­si­tua­tio­nen sehr
helpful.
Ich fühlte mich fachlich sehr gut aufge­ho­ben und auch persön­lich in jeder Situa­ti­on ausge­zeich­net
super­vi­sed.
Ein großes Dankes­schön für die profes­sio­nel­le und mit einem Abschluss gekrön­te Zusammenarbeit.
