My Offering

What Sets Me Apart from Brokers

Off-Market

My targets are not listed on platforms. Every connection arises from personal contact – not from a database.

Pre-Qualified

I only approach entrepreneurs where I've identified a genuine succession topic. No cold call lists.

DACH-Focused

Deep regional knowledge in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. I know the markets, the industries, the mentalities.

Discreet

Every initial outreach maintains full discretion. Concrete company information is only shared once the owner approves it. The entrepreneur decides whether and with whom they speak.

Beyond the List

A workable longlist is quick to produce these days – for me it's the starting point, not the product. My time goes where software can't: qualification and the personal conversation with the owner.

Mandates

What Typical Mandates Look Like

Three variations, one principle: a buyer with a clear search profile, a systematically built longlist, personal outreach. The examples show scope and output as a typology – not a depiction of specific ongoing mandates.
