Brand and culture
We respect the history and characteristics that have built trust with customers and employees.
For entrepreneurs
A new home
for your life’s work.
Succession is more than a transaction. It is about employees, customers, identity, location and who will take responsibility for the long term.
01 — Our promise
We preserve what made your company strong. And change what limits its future.
GENACO Ventures sees itself as a long-term entrepreneurial owner. We do not want to force an established company into an anonymous structure, but to develop it from its own strengths.
02 — What should endure
Continuity where it creates value.
Every succession is individual. These principles guide our decisions after an acquisition.
Close to the market
Location decisions follow long-term performance, not short-term standardisation.
Experience and responsibility
Key people and accumulated knowledge are part of the company's value and transition plan.
Investment, not stagnation
We set clear priorities for leadership, sales, technology, productivity and growth.
03 — The process
Clear, personal and confidential.
We deliberately keep the initial process lean. Once there is a fundamental fit, we deepen the work on financials, risks and structure.

Transition
Securing critical relationships and knowledge transfer, with a role for the former owner that fits the situation.
04 — Frequently asked
What owners want to know early.
Do I have to sell the company completely?
We prefer clear majority ownership. Whether a full acquisition, retained minority or transition phase is appropriate depends on your goals and the situation.
What role can I retain after the sale?
Different models are possible, from a clean exit to a temporary transition or advisory role. Clear accountability is essential.
How confidential is the first contact?
Confidentiality is fundamental. Sensitive information is exchanged step by step and, where appropriate, under a non-disclosure agreement.
What happens to employees and the location?
We regard both as material parts of the operational substance. Decisions are based on the company's long-term future readiness.
Let us speak without obligation.
The first conversation is simply to understand your situation and establish whether there is a fundamental fit.
