Are you considering selling?

Built to last. Owned to continue.

A perpetual continuation of what you built — preserving the trust, craft and relationships that define your firm.

Why sell to Samhild

What you get with us — at a glance.

Perpetual ownership

No fund clock, no forced exit. We buy to keep — and never have to put your business up for sale again.

Respect for what you built

Your company keeps its name, management and culture. Day-to-day decisions stay with the people who know the customers.

Operators, not financiers

We have built and run companies ourselves. You speak directly with the people who will own and steward the business.

Group strength behind you

Patient capital, shared services and a network of operating partners — at the service of the business, never at its expense.

Our criteria

What a good fit looks like.

A few quick checks to see whether we are right for your business.

Your Business

  • 01€10–30M in annual revenue
  • 02Profitable and cash-generative, >10% EBITDA margin
  • 03Recurring or contractually secured client relationships
  • 04Operates with high professional accountability

You as an owner

  • 01You run the business — alone or with your family
  • 02You are thinking about succession: retirement, health, or simply the question of what comes next
  • 03You want what you built preserved — standards, culture
What changes — and what does not

Your business stays your business.

Stays

What does not change:

  • Your client relationships
  • Your position in your local market
  • The culture you have built
Add

What we add:

  • Operational systems that cut admin burden
  • Group purchasing on insurance, software, and services
  • Growth capital where it's warranted
Succession, done well

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.

How it works

A process designed around your timeline, not ours.

  1. 01

    First conversation

    A call or meeting to understand your business and what you're looking for. No pressure. No offer. Just a conversation.

  2. 02

    Getting to know the business

    If there's a basis to continue, we take time to understand operations, clients, people and market position. We don't rush.

  3. 03

    Offer

    If there's a good fit, we make a clear offer. We don't renegotiate after agreeing terms. We close what we say we will close.

  4. 04

    Transition and handover

    A 6–24 month handover at your pace. We are on site, learning the business from you, before you step back.

Anatomy of a deal

What a typical transaction looks like.

Most deals share the same shape. The numbers move; the structure rarely does.

Structure

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.

Timeline

8 to 14 weeks

First call to signed deal, in most cases. We move at the pace the business needs.

Your role

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.

How we differ

We buy and hold.
