Strategic buyer seeks small businesses to diversify its portfolio

Nachfolgehaus either purchases LLCs of various industries and sizes directly or discreetly matches them with vetted investors from our network. We cater to shareholders seeking an orderly succession—whether due to age, the absence of a family successor, or strategic reasons. Following a confidential initial review, sellers receive feedback within 24 hours. The rest of the process is structured and culminates in a notarized transfer—discreet, transparent, and with no brokerage fees for sellers.

We are looking for an established medium-sized company that we can acquire as part of a succession plan and continue to operate in the long term. The acquirer will personally serve as the company’s successor, managing operations with their own capital.

We are happy to sign a confidentiality agreement in advance.

We are looking for an established, sustainably profitable building services contractor specializing in plumbing, heating, air conditioning, ventilation, or refrigeration—with revenue of approximately 1 to 5 million euros, 10 or more employees, and well-established customer relationships. We are an entrepreneurial team: our managing directors have built up a property management group and a recruiting agency for the building services trade, complemented by a master craftsman in plumbing and heating installation and many years of experience in the financial sector. This provides concrete advantages—especially when it comes to recruiting skilled workers and leveraging our network in the real estate industry. Our focus is on long-term continuity and careful further development, not on a short-term solution. Continuity, employee retention, and respect for the owner’s life’s work are at the heart of our approach. We are flexible regarding the handover—ranging from a full takeover with a transition phase to a buyback arrangement for the owner. Financing is secured through equity capital, supplemented by bank financing and a robust network of investors. We look forward to a confidential discussion.
