Fair transition
A realistic understanding of the business and a solution that fits the situation and the people involved.
Reliable transitions
Succession Solutions
Business succession is more than a legal or financial transaction – it concerns the owner’s life’s work, the employees and the future of the company.
KBM offers succession solutions designed to preserve continuity, build on existing strengths and structure viable transitions on equal terms.
What matters in succession
Continuity & responsibility
Reliable continuation with due regard for employees, customers, partners and established structures.
Flexible structuring
Depending on the situation as an immediate acquisition, phased transition or temporary involvement of the seller.
Discreet process
Pragmatic, respectful and confidential discussions aimed at creating clarity and trust at an early stage.
Possible transaction formats
Direct acquisition
Clear transfer of ownership with rapid assumption of responsibility and a defined perspective.
Phased transition
Transition models that enable knowledge transfer and an orderly shift of responsibilities.
Supporting involvement
Time-limited advisory support by the former owner where this is beneficial for the company.
Tailored structuring
The solution must fit the size, situation and culture of the company – not the other way around.
