A long term oriented equity investment by BVgroup offers entrepreneurs, shareholders and enterprises a number of benefits:

• Since minority participations are possible, the succession can be implemented in steps.
• Diverging interests of the shareholders can be eliminated and the strategy of the company can be pursued together with an entrepreneurially oriented partner.
• Due to the use of equity, the seller’s capital gain is not taxed.
• At the same time, balance sheet and net equity of the company are strengthened and excessive debt-levels are avoided.
• Growth opportunities – organic or acquisition driven – can be executed swiftly, e.g. via a combination of succession and growth financing.
• The company retains its flexibility and independence.
• The continuity and independence of the enterprise is secured and jobs are protected in the long term.
