Succession Planning

Everything is succession – from the foundation of your company to the handover to the next generation!

560,000 companies in Germany are planning a company succession by the end of 2026. (cf. KfW Research) As entrepreneurs, managing directors and shareholders, you are concerned with the issue of succession planning. This topic is an essential part of company management. And it is certainly one of the most difficult tasks for you, your company and your family.

In medium-sized companies, age-related succession is the central issue. A handover process takes a lot of time. And this process is complex and psychology plays one of the main roles. General experience shows that succession planning is underestimated by very many entrepreneurs and companies and is addressed too late, which can result in considerable losses of assets for the owners and shareholders.

The successful transfer of your company is particularly dependent on dealing with all key issues at an early stage. This means that succession planning is ultimately an essential part of corporate strategy and responsible corporate management. Succession planning not only includes age-related changes in responsibility, but also changes in responsibility due to emergencies.
