Company Sale

Securing Assets, Safeguarding the Future

A company sale lays the groundwork for your future: For your life’s work, for your team and for your family. But it must be approached with care. The goal is to hand over the inheritance and the assets that you have accumulated over many years to a purchaser who will respect and develop both. At Syntra, we understand what makes your company unique. We will find partners who share your vision and who have the capability to drive growth. Our structured sales process will provide the framework for a transfer combining tradition and innovation. Together we will safeguard existing assets and lay the foundations for a future where your company continues to grow and prosper.
  • Corporate Succession

    In a family-run company, the question of succession does not just revolve around the legal structure. It is also about the fundamental values that define the company and ensure the trust of the workforce. A successful succession plan maintains continuity and ensures that your company remains successful. The right successor is more than just a successor – it is a partner that respects evolved structures, takes the team along with them, and preserves the company’s core values. At Syntra, we will bring empathy and experience as we guide you through this process and find you a suitable successor. Our goal is to arrange a handover based on partnership that gives your company stability and offers potential for the future.

  • Entrepreneur Departure

    A departure from one’s own company is a major, emotional step. It prompts many different questions: Who will take over the management of the company, and how will your legacy be preserved? The transition must be properly prepared to safeguard the company’s future and its future success. A departure that has been carefully planned will retain what has already been achieved while laying the foundations for solid growth. Syntra is an experienced partner that will be by your side. We take account of the interests of everyone involved and ensure a smooth transition. Together we will develop a solution that safeguards what has been achieved to date, while keeping the company on a growth trajectory.

  • Changes in the Shareholder Structure

    Family-run companies often experience changes to their shareholder structure throughout their history, whether due to the arrival of new shareholders, the withdrawal of family members, or a desire for fresh capital. These transitions present both challenges and opportunities. The right partners provide stability and ensure that the company remains stable and sustainable, despite the changes. At Syntra, we design this process in a strategic and coordinated way so that both the assets and the interests of all participants are preserved. Our expertise ensures that changes in the shareholder structure always encourage growth that will promote the company’s development and long-term strength.

  • Strategic Sale

    A strategic sale opens new perspectives and creates greater room for maneuver. Incorporation into a larger structure or a partnership with an experienced market player generates synergies that can strengthen your company for the longer term and enable new growth. A strategic partner will give you access to additional resources and expand distribution channels – and often open new markets. Syntra is your partner here: We will identify interested parties who offer synergies and share your goals. In this way, we can find a partnership that raises your company to the next level while ensuring long-term growth – without endangering your company’s identity and evolved structures.
