Company Succession in the Family

Handing over an your company to the next generation is much more than a formal act. In addition to legal and financial issues, it is primarily about personal relationships, established structures, trust and maintaining the corporate culture. Two systems come together that each have their own dynamics and needs: the family system and the company. We take special care to ensure that both sides remain in balance and work together constructively. Especially in an economic environment that is constantly changing, a generational handover needs clarity, structure and a sensitive eye for the individual needs of all those involved. As experienced consultants, we accompany during this important phase - with organisational expertise and a systemic understanding of the big picture.
