Arconis Consulting · Succession (Kapitänswechsel)
Succession – Kapitänswechsel
Thinking about handing over your business? Bring it into top shape first, then pass it on confidentially to the right successor.
What Kapitänswechsel is about
A buyer pays for a business that runs without its owner and whose figures can be documented. Many owners start looking for a successor before their business is ready – and lose time and purchase price as a result.
Arconis Consulting is a brand of KIRCHNER Finanzgruppe GmbH. We first assess how ready your business is for sale, plan the necessary overhaul with you and then accompany the sale confidentially through to the handover. Our work is business advisory; legal advice, tax matters and notarisation remain with your lawyer, tax adviser and notary.

Prices plus statutory VAT. Legal advice, tax matters and notarisation remain with your lawyer, tax adviser and notary. Nobody can promise a sale or a specific price. You and your co-shareholders decide whether and to whom you sell. Contracts are concluded in German.
The first step is a confidential conversation.
