We solve successions, create new ”Mittelstand” companies through corporate spin-offs and turn managers into entrepreneurs

Successful strategy since 1998

Financing Management Buy-outs and, increasingly, Management Buy-ins as a solution to succession problems or corporate spin-offs in the German SME (“Mittelstand”) market has proven to be a sustainable value-adding strategy.

The innovative strength and versatility of our ”Mittelstand” companies, managed by extraordinarily talented management teams with entrepreneurial spirit have decisively influenced the development of BPE over the last decades.
