Doing succession planning correctly.

Nachfolge ist kein Sprint, sondern ein Marathon
OUR APPROACH
With our integrated succession model, we offer you a clear structure for the reorientation of your company. Thanks to our cross-industry network, we can find the perfect, qualified successor for you. With metropolheads, we can bring young professionals or experienced managers into the process through our university contacts—the choice is yours.
Participant perspective
Business succession is a complex and often emotional process that goes far beyond purely legal or economic aspects. As experienced consultants, we support you in developing a viable and sustainable succession solution – taking all relevant perspectives into account:
Owners often face the challenge of letting go while simultaneously assuming responsibility for the company's future. We support them in safeguarding their entrepreneurial legacy, developing succession strategies, and gaining clarity on options—whether within the family, externally, or hybrid.
In many cases, the family plays a central role – whether as potential successors or as an emotional and financial interest group. Our consulting approach creates space for open discussions, structures expectations, and supports the reconciliation of family relationships and business needs.
Management is often a key player in the handover process. Whether as a sparring partner, strategic partner, or potential buyer (e.g., in the context of a management buyout), we involve the executive level early on to ensure trust, continuity, and the ability to act.
Employees are the backbone of our corporate culture and a key factor in maintaining stability. We help reduce fears, provide guidance, and promote acceptance and participation through transparent communication.
Our goal is to work with you to develop a succession plan that's tailored to your individual needs—sound, structured, and humane. Together, we'll secure the future of your company.
Your request.
We look forward to supporting you with your succession planning.
