The M&B Business Succession Meeting 2015 in Würzburg/Germany was an event with various contributing professionals who examined some important aspects of business succession. Additionally to legal and fiscal questions, topics like personal emotion and the search for a suitable business successor respectively company purchaser were in the focus of discussion. The congress was organized by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce Würzburg-Schweinfurt.
As M&A specialist for national and international research, M&A consultant Rolf Popp gave a lecture on possible strategies and necessary requirements for company owners to achieve success in finding a business successor. Herewith it was shown that the spectrum of potential successors range from the external manager to the complete company sale. And the question about when and which solution is the best usually depends on the particular case as well as on the relative situation.

The comparison of strategic purchasers, financial investors and MBI / MBO has reflected the particular exceptions for each of these target groups. In relation to the characteristics of business sectors it was cleared that both, the methods and the necessary information for a successful search, require the same M&A process and project management. The large and wide search basis of the involved M&A consultant enables the contact as well as lateral prospective buyers.
