Transact Deal Origination

On behalf of our clients, we are actively seeking acquisition opportunities across Switzerland. We represent strategic buyers and long-term investors who are looking to partner with or acquire well-managed, profitable businesses. Our clients are particularly interested in companies where a transition of ownership or new investment partner is being considered due to one or more of the following scenarios:

​

• Privately owned or family-run businesses where succession planning is a concern, and no natural heir is available or willing to continue operations.

​

• Entrepreneurs or founding teams seeking to crystallize value after years of growth, often as part of personal estate planning or to pursue other interests.

​

• Owners approaching retirement, aiming to exit the business either fully or in stages, while ensuring a smooth transition for employees and customers.

​

• Support for management buy-outs (MBOs) or buy-ins (MBIs) where a trusted management team or incoming executives are seeking ownership alongside a majority investor.

​

• Companies with strong underlying profitability but constrained by limited capital or strategic bandwidth to scale further without external support.

​

• Businesses at an inflection point, where the next phase of growth would benefit from the backing of a financially robust and experienced investor.

​

• Private Equity-backed companies nearing the end of a fund cycle or strategic holding period, and ready for onward sale or secondary buyout.

​

• Corporate carve-outs or spin-offs, where non-core or non-strategic assets are divested despite strong financial performance, to refocus group strategy.

​

• Founders of high-performing companies who wish to partially exit (e.g. through a majority recapitalization) to diversify personal wealth while staying involved in a reduced operational or board capacity.

​

• Shareholder misalignment, where co-owners have differing timelines, risk appetites, or strategic priorities, leading to a consensus on an external exit.

​

• Owners seeking to reduce operational involvement, particularly in businesses that have matured and no longer require the same level of entrepreneurial intensity.

​

• Desire to professionalize or institutionalize the business, often by bringing in an investor that can support governance upgrades, strategic hires, or internationalization.​

​

• Regulatory or sectoral shifts, prompting business owners to monetize assets while valuations remain favourable.
