For business owners

For business owners who want to hand over or share responsibility.

Succession, growth capital or a partner at your side. We talk about your company first, then about structure and valuation.

What it is really about

As a rule, you make this decision exactly once.

Anyone who sells, brings a partner on board or arranges their succession is deciding on more than a price: on employees, customers, their own name and everything that has grown over the years. As a rule, you make this decision exactly once.

Some owners want to carry on, just with a strong partner at their side. Others want to let go and know that their company is in good hands. Both are possible. What isn't possible is an off-the-shelf solution.

That is why we talk about your company and your goals first, not about multiples. Only once we have understood the business do we talk about structure, valuation and process. And if it isn't a fit, you will hear that from us early and directly.

Investment criteria

Revenue: approx. EUR 2 to 20 million
Equity per transaction: from approx. EUR 0.5 million
Stake: Majority and minority possible
Region: DACH
Sectors: sector-agnostic
Horizon: no fixed exit date

These figures are a guide, not a cut-off. We don't have to explain an investment policy to anyone. That makes transactions possible that don't fit the usual pattern.

What a business owner says about working with us.

We went into the sale process without our own adviser, which in hindsight was a risk. That it still went well was partly down to Julian and the Maxburg team. Every step was explained to us, with background and reasoning, and we were involved in the thinking and review process instead of just working through lists of questions. A process like this is exhausting and more emotional than you expect. But it always stayed human, and along the way we even had some genuinely fun, good moments.

It doesn't start with a process. It starts with a conversation.
