An established specialist company for heating and plumbing systems

A well-established specialty business in heating and plumbing technology, with a strong regional market position, is for sale. The company operates in an economically attractive catchment area and serves a broadly diversified customer base consisting of residential customers, property management companies, and industrial and commercial clients. A key component of the business model is the service, maintenance, and repair division, which generates a high proportion of recurring and predictable revenue. This core business is complemented by residential construction and private client projects, as well as select services for industrial and commercial clients. Day-to-day operations are clearly structured and largely standardized. The organization has a well-coordinated staff and management structure, including a technical management team. Dependence on individual personnel is limited, meaning the company is well-positioned for a takeover and continued operation. The company has direct relationships with established manufacturers and specialty wholesalers in the heating and plumbing industry that have developed over many years. These relationships ensure reliable material availability, short delivery times, and consistently high quality in service, maintenance, and project work. The diversified supplier structure enables flexible and economically stable operations without dependence on individual suppliers.

Seeking a successor for an established streetwear store in Hamburg

An operational business successor is being sought for a brick-and-mortar streetwear retailer in Hamburg that has been in business for 25 years. The company has approximately 300 m² of retail space, an established brand portfolio, long-standing supplier relationships, its own well-calculated product line, and a fully operational infrastructure. We are looking for an individual who will actively manage and further develop the company. The financial situation is presented transparently: Following significant declines in revenue, the company is currently undergoing a restructuring phase. A moderate loss of approximately €13,000 is currently projected for 2026. The current management structure is too expensive for the company’s current revenue level. The company is therefore particularly attractive to an operational successor who will take personal responsibility for day-to-day operations and structure the workforce according to their own work model. For 2027, net revenue of approximately 576,000 € is conservatively projected. A budget of approximately €124,000 annually is available for the entire human resources organization. Within this framework, the successor can largely determine the operational staffing structure independently. A company car budget is also included. The planning does not assume a significant jump in revenue. Historically, the location has generated net revenue of over 800,000 € ; a return to this level is expressly not the basis of the current planning. In addition, there is a repayment obligation arising from COVID-19 relief funds. An application for a deferral is currently still pending. The acquisition structure should therefore be designed so that the necessary financing remains within the company and ensures its continued operation. There are no other significant external financial liabilities; a guarantee exists solely for the rental deposit. A traditional purchase price is not the primary focus. Rather, sufficient capitalization and the willingness to continue operating the business independently are decisive factors. We are seeking an entrepreneurial individual with experience in retail, distribution, sales, or managing a customer-oriented business model. Specific experience in streetwear is an advantage but not a mandatory requirement. This succession opportunity is particularly suitable for someone who does not simply want to take over an existing store, but is looking for the chance to further develop a fully established business with their own unique touch.

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.
