The market situa­ti­on for M&A: With the retire­ment of the baby boomers, there is a drama­tic slump in demogra­phic succes­si­on. There is not only a lack of employees at all levels, but also of founders and succes­sors as compa­ny leaders.

Ideal frame­work condi­ti­ons for every compa­ny buyer, whether you want to become invol­ved as an MBI/MBO in the future as an entre­pre­neur, are looking for targe­ted invest­ments as a finan­cial inves­tor or want to grow inorga­ni­cal­ly as a strate­gic inves­tor. Or conscious­ly want to expand your employee potential.
