Firmenzukaufen.de offers transparency on the German and European M+A market

Viersen 22.11.2005

Since mid November 2005 Firmenzukaufen.de has gone live on the Internet (www.firmenzukaufen.de). The Initiative has resulted from a joint venture with a Dutch partner, Bedrijventekoop.nl

„Co-operation with Bedrijventekoop.nl was a logical first step for us“, comments German M.D. Werner Stapela. „Our Dutch partner already had all the necessary structures and systems in place. They have a large database of entrepreneurs who are interested in buying or participating in businesses, and they have many existing profiles of businesses for sale or to buy which will benefit from broader geographical coverage. So the partnership has advantages for all concerned”.

In Germany and most other western European countries, many small and medium sized business’ owners will want to retire in the coming years. Frequently succession planning has not considered or catered for, although the value of the business represents all or a large portion of the owner’s retirement fund.
At the same time, Germany is experiencing a new wave of young entrepreneurs keen on independence. Indeed, the government is undertaking more and more to stimulate this trend.
Additionally, a growing number of foreign, primarily American, companies and investment groups are showing renewed interest in Europe.

Firmenzukaufen.de aims to bring together this demand and supply, and especially to create maximum transparency in the market. The platform will therefore not only be available to selling or buying companies and individuals, but also to intermediaries and agents. They thus have the possibility to broaden the geographic spread of their client’s profiles.

Entrepreneurs also have the possibility to make use of Adcorporate consulting services. Adcorporate owns and administers Firmenzukaufen.de, Bedrijventekoop.nl and Bedrijventekoop.be

Many entrepreneurs have had no previous experience with buying or selling a business, so professional assistance can be not only useful but financially well worth while. Sellers, after all, will want to achieve the best price possible for their business, but nevertheless they want to sell as soon as possible. Adcorporate can assist in establishing a fair but realistic price. Should a business’ current structure make it unsuitable for sale, they also have the expertise to help re-structure it in such a manner as to make it saleable in the future.

“Here again the partnership with Adcorporate Netherlands proves vital” says Werner Stapela. “Together we have a broad spectrum of abilities and expertise. Relationships with SME in Germany, Netherlands and Belgium are augmented by contacts that we have with international financial institutions and multinationals that are always on the lookout for suitable acquisitions. In Netherlands Bedrijventekoop.nl is a leader and one of the largest M & A sites; we want to roll this success out to the rest of Europe, but in a phased manner, since we will not compromise on quality.”
