A successor solution in the
                     motorhome accessories market

We supported our client throughout the process of transferring ownership of his life’s work – from the preparatory stages right through to completion.

The company:

Our client is a company based in Germany that specialises in the after-sales and accessories market for motorhomes. Its focus is on high-quality products ‘Made in Germany’, combined with in-depth market knowledge and a strong customer-focused approach.
With this positioning, the company has established itself as a reliable partner in the motorhome accessories and services sector and plays a key role in ensuring the comfort, functionality and long-term value of the vehicles.

The challenge

The transaction was prompted by the desire to hand over business responsibility to new owners and to organise the succession in an orderly manner. The key priority was to preserve the company as a whole – from the jobs and long-standing customer relationships to the established brand.
We were commissioned to manage the entire M&A process: the aim was to find a new shareholder who would continue to run the company responsibly. On this basis, we developed a bespoke transaction concept and prepared all relevant documentation for a structured investor process.

The solution: an investment company as a partner

As part of this process, an investment company was identified as the acquirer, one that is focused on long-term corporate development. It brings experience in supporting medium-sized companies and assists them in continuing and further developing their business model.
We coordinated the entire investor outreach process, the due diligence reviews and the negotiations right through to the notarisation of the agreement. The investor’s entry into the business ensures a sustainable succession plan, safeguards the company’s continued existence and, at the same time, opens up scope for future developments in the after-sales and accessories market for motorhomes.
