Project SOLUTION
Sell-Side Beratung – Deutschland
Description
As part of the SOLUTION project, Edelweiss supported the shareholders of a software company in an external company sale due to age succession. The aim was to find a good successor solution for the company’s more than 40 programmers and to ensure the long-term security of the company. The company specializes in software development, software integration, and software services, with a particular focus on the development of customized software, and has over 40 years of experience. It is very profitable, with an EBIT margin of over 20%, and has highly qualified employees and a valuable ISO certification. The diversified customer base and many recurring sales without framework agreements with major customers put the company in a very good position, which is also reflected in the bidding process.
Quote from Edelweiss management:
“We are very grateful to be able to support such an established and successful company in the succession solution. The response from the bidding process confirms the company’s strong market position and excellent reputation. We look forward to the successful completion of the transaction and to handing the company over to a strategic buyer who will continue the legacy and success.”
Approach
Edelweiss has implemented a thorough and structured transaction process to find the optimal strategic buyer for the company. By emphasizing the company’s strengths, such as high profitability and qualified employees, as well as the outstanding market position through ISO certification and the diversified customer base, the interest of renowned bidders was aroused.
