In good hands

Our advice for companies looking for a successor

In almost 40 per cent of family businesses in the IHK district of North Westphalia, the owners are aged 55 or over. Over the next few years, 35,000 family businesses in the Münsterland and Emscher-Lippe region with around 200,000 employees will be due to be handed over.

Handing over your company to someone else is a big step. It should not only be taken early, but also be well planned. We offer you the best possible support.

In our consultations and seminars, we work with you to determine

• what time frame you should consider
• how to approach the search for a company successor
• what interpersonal aspects need to be considered during a succession
• what legal and tax particularities there are
• which funding programmes support company succession
• what makes a suitable successor
