Perfect handover

KA Metallbau GmbH, founded in 1997 in Bamberg, Germany, grew from a small locksmith business to an established solution provider in steel and aluminum construction, as well as active and passive fire protection, within 20 years. CARL acted as a co-advisor in the sale of the company, focusing on identifying and approaching potential buyers. In a nine-month process, over 150 potential investors were contacted, with the access to management buy-in candidates being crucial. A suitable investor was found, and the sale proceeds were 30% higher than the first binding offer, following the entrepreneur's unsuccessful attempt to sell the company independently for three years.
