Sustainable Logistics Project Seeks Investor

We are seeking an investor, partner, or buyer for a sustainable project in the field of systems, intra-company, and general logistics—preferably someone who is already successfully active in the manufacture and distribution of pallets, particularly plastic pallets. The development project is a European-patented “Modular Load-Carrying System” that is to be manufactured from 100% recycled plastic and, thanks to its modular structure—unlike industry standards—is 100% repairable! Furthermore, thanks to the patented interface, the load carriers (currently available in Euro-pallet and half-pallet formats) can be connected using a bolt system to form load carriers of any size, and can be separated and reused after use. Likewise, the interface, which is present on all sides, is designed to accommodate logistics components (casters, frames, load securing devices, load cells, etc.). Due to the wide range of possible applications (pallet pooling, specific load carrier sizes for system logistics, etc.), the system can be used in virtually any area of logistics. The project is currently at the prototype stage. German and European patents have been granted. An investor and/or partner from the aforementioned sector is being sought for series production. A sale or licensing of the patent rights is also a possibility. The seller and patent holder owns an engineering firm with approximately 30 years of expertise.

Premium lingerie boutique with over 40 years of success—attractive purchase price for a prompt takeover For sale is a lingerie specialty store that has been successfully operated since 1983 in a prime location in southern Munich. The business enjoys an excellent reputation, has a loyal customer base built up over many years, and holds a strong position in the regional market with no direct competition due to its specialization. An independent market valuation report confirms a realistic business value of approximately €200,000. Since the owner wishes to hand over the business to a dedicated successor in the near future—both for retirement reasons and as part of her personal future planning—there is an opportunity to acquire the business on very attractive terms if the takeover is quick and straightforward.

The company specializes in high-quality lingerie and personalized fitting consultations in the mid- to high-end quality segment. It is precisely this personalized consultation that fosters exceptionally high customer loyalty and has ensured stable sales and sustainable profitability for many years. The retail space covers approximately 57 m² in a highly visible location with excellent accessibility and parking spaces directly in front of the store. The purchase price includes the entire inventory as well as the existing store fixtures, allowing operations to continue immediately without a ramp-up period. Annual sales are stable at around €170,000. The business model stands out for its attractive margins, lean cost structure, and above-average profitability. At the same time, there are diverse opportunities for growth, such as through social media, digital marketing, online appointment scheduling, or expanding the product range to include swimwear, loungewear, or nightwear. Additionally, there is the option to take over an integrated cosmetics section or to use the existing space flexibly to expand the product range. Upon request, the seller will personally oversee the handover and ensure a structured onboarding process as well as an introduction to regular customers and suppliers. This allows business operations to continue seamlessly.

Buying a company vs. buying a firm

Buying a company means acquiring an independent organizational unit that regularly carries out an economic activity. A company can consist of one or several business operations. An individual can also found such an independent unit if they regularly carry out an economic activity — in that case it is called a sole proprietorship. As a rule, sole proprietors don't have to register in the commercial register; without that registration, they don't legally count as a "firm." A trade name, colloquially a "firm," is the name under which a company or sole proprietor appears publicly and conducts its business. Buying "a firm" therefore technically means acquiring the company's name or trading name. In everyday use, though, it's used interchangeably with buying a company — i.e. acquiring the entire business.
