Drastic aging of managing directors SMEs. More than 50% of business owner are already over 55 years old. The urge for a structured succession within family businesses is additionally strengthened in particular by the Corona crisis. Thus, company sales will become a megatrend in the coming years!
What solutions do we see for the long-term preservation of small and medium-sized businesses?
1. Values and norms of family businesses as well as jobs must be preserved – In this context, profound and structured concepts for a regulated succession solution are indispensable.
2. The high complexity and the duration of a company sale should not be underestimated. We recommend to think about a company sale at an early stage and to seek professional exchange with specialists.
3. Finally, we recommend in the long-term the development and promotion of a better start-up culture in Germany, whereby company succession (MBI) is also seen as the new start-up.
