Switzerland

Manufacturer of specialized machinery with a global monopoly

An exceptionally profitable mechanical engineering company based in Switzerland (founded in 2012) is for sale. The company is the world’s sole manufacturer of its specialty machines and thus holds a de facto monopoly. Key Figures: - Annual Revenue: approx. 1.375 million EUR - EBIT margin: approx. 90% - EBIT per year: approx. 1.168 million EUR - No employee transfer required The business model is IP-driven and includes all rights, design and manufacturing drawings, as well as technical know-how. The machines can be delivered fully assembled and are therefore immediately ready for international distribution. The buyer does not need to have its own technical expertise, which is why the company is also suitable for sales organizations, trading companies, and financial investors. The international market has not yet been fully tapped and represents the key growth driver. International expansion can begin immediately after closing. The exceptional earnings quality is based on the company’s monopoly position, the high proportion of IP, and a very lean cost structure. Operational risks are low, as there is no reliance on specific personnel. Indicative purchase price range: Negotiable at 6.5 million EUR, with additional upside for strategic buyers. The sale is planned as a short-term, structured business sale (asset deal). We will provide further information exclusively after the signing of an NDA.

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.
