In family-run businesses in particular, the task of resolving the succession issue constitutes one of the most decisive phases in the development of a company. The succession has to be carefully planned and implemented, with due account being taken of the circumstances of all members of the family. In recent years, the number of options open to companies faced with a succession issue has increased quite significantly: a sale of the company to its own management (MBO) or to an external management team (MBI) is gaining significance. When compared with an outside sale to a strategic investor, the advantage of the MBO/MBI is the fact that corporate continuity can be assured while also safeguarding independence and confidentiality. The MBO/MBI option enables one to prevent competitors from gaining access to crucial inside information - and to avoid the local or market-wide shakeout that might otherwise be triggered by a sale. A further key factor, especially when seeking to resolve family succession issue, is the ability to execute the deal as rapidly as possible, since management generally has an excellent knowledge of the company. As a private equity partner familiar with these requirements, Argantis offers rapid and professional implementation.

We shall be delighted to advise you in person at all times.
