Built to last. Owned to continue.
A permanent continuation of what you built — preserving the trust, craft, and relationships that define your firm for decades to come.
What a good fit looks like.
A few quick checks to see whether we are the right fit for your business.
Your Business
- €10–30M in annual revenue
- Profitable and cash-generative, >10% EBITDA margin
- Recurring or contractually secured client relationships
- Operates with high professional accountability
You as an owner
- You run the business — alone or with your family
- You are thinking about succession: retirement, health, or simply the question of what comes next
- You want what you built preserved — standards, culture
Curious whether your company fits what we look for?
A short, off-the-record conversation is the fastest way to find out. No mandate, no broker, no pressure — just a direct read from the people who would actually run the deal.
Your business stays your business.
What does not change:
- Your client relationships
- Your position in your local market
- The culture you have built
What we add:
- Operational systems that cut admin burden
- Group purchasing on insurance, software, and services
- Growth capital where it's warranted
Your succession should leave the company stronger, not lighter.
Most owners want continuity for their customers, their standards, and their name above the door. We're built around that — and we put it in writing.
A process designed around your timeline, not ours.
- 01
First conversation
A call or meeting to understand your business and what you're looking for. No pressure. No offer. Just a conversation.
- 02
Getting to know the business
If there's a basis for further discussion, we take time to understand the business properly — operations, clients, people, market position. We do not rush.
- 03
Offer
If we believe there's a good fit, we make a clear offer. We do not renegotiate after agreeing terms. We close what we say we will close.
What a typical transaction looks like.
Most deals share the same shape. The numbers move; the structure rarely does.
Cash, with optional seller note
Majority cash at close. Where it makes sense, a seller note or a small earn-out tied to clear, transparent metrics — never hidden ratchets.
8 to 14 weeks
First call to signed deal, in most cases. We move at the pace the business needs — faster if the situation requires it.
Full exit, transition or advisory
Walk away cleanly, stay six to twenty-four months for a proper handover, or keep an advisory seat. You decide what fits.
We buy and hold.
