Nick Herbig

The future of your company is not only about the price. It is about who takes responsibility for your employees after you, for your customers, for what you have built over 10, 20, 30 or 40 years.

I am Nick Herbig, originally from Heidelberg, now based in Hamburg. For more than four years I was at DealCircle, one of the leading M&A technology platforms in the DACH region, accompanying transactions on both sides of the table, from small family businesses to companies worth 100 million euros. I saw which sales run smoothly and which fail because of the wrong buyer. And I know the logic by which investment committees at private equity firms really decide, because I spoke with them every day.

SourcingClub is the consequence of that experience. In every mandate I work exclusively for one investor, a private equity firm or the family office of an entrepreneurial family. I know his investment focus and strategic direction in detail. Before I get in touch with you, I have taken a close look at your company. That is why I only approach a few owners, and always with a concrete reason.

What matters to me is an investor who fits you strategically, culturally and financially. One who continues your business and takes on your team. In a conversation I am happy to tell you who he is, what he has in mind and why I came across your company. For you this is free of charge, the investor pays my fee.

No data record opens the conversation with an owner who has built his company over decades. And none creates the trust that a handover ultimately depends on. M&A is a business between people.

You do not need to know whether a sale is even a topic for you before we talk. We can simply have a first conversation without any commitment. I will tell you just as clearly if the timing is wrong or the investor is not right for you. You speak directly with me at every step, from the first conversation to meeting the investor.
