Selling a Company

The sale of your company calls for 100% professionalism - Bauer & Partner Mergers & Acquisitions Aktiengesellschaft meets that need.

The sale of a company is a process involving a whole series of different considerations. As an entrepreneur one feels a responsibility for one’s employees and their families. Longstanding relationships with customers and suppliers will have become established and have stood the test of time. Many entrepreneurs feel themselves abandoned when faced with the question of “What happens next?”

That’s why we prioritise common, fundamental considerations which, above all, take your wishes and your future business prospects into account. It is you who decides whether you wish to remain on board for a while as an advisor, or whether you wish to start realising other goals immediately. We show you the various options available and together we work out the best solution.

Many company owners are also deeply concerned by the question of “Who’s going to buy my company?” Often, the corporate structure will itself suggest a suitable purchaser: the strategic buyer, the financial investor or someone starting up in business - what is decisive is that a targeted approach is made to interested parties.

Naturally, the purchase price and thus the evaluation of a company plays a very important role. In this regard, historic balance sheets are of negligible significance - it is the future that is being sold here, the potential that you have already created. And it is precisely here that Bauer & Partner are different: as a medium-sized company, you will have invested and paid interest and taxes throughout the entire existence of the business, and will have had little opportunity to build up sufficient equity. But, what you have done is to create a wide range of intangible values which can’t be seen on a balance sheet. You have created infrastructures, developed marketing systems, established a good name on the market. This is the real value of your company and this is what we assess, thus achieving a monetary value for the company which comes close to doing justice to your life’s work.

During this crucial phase of your entrepreneurial life, we aim to be a competent partner, providing you with individual and trustworthy advice.
