Buying, selling or developing a company is much more than a mere financial transaction – it is the strategic art of unlocking and redefining the true potential of a company. Visionary entrepreneurs recognise that every business is much more than just numbers; it is a reflection of people, values and future plans. Success is not measured by today's valuation alone, but by the lasting impact a company creates for its owners, employees and future generations.

Dr. Felix Tschopp’s advice and dedication extend far beyond traditional M&A consulting. He positions himself as a partner in addressing all aspects of business beyond the day-to-day operations.

Do you value in-depth expertise in corporate change and strategic decision-making?

Selling Businesses

Are you looking for a reputable and financially strong buyer for your company who will continue to run it in your interest? I will support you in selling the company, in a management buy-out or in finding an external successor.

Maximum selling price and a successor of your choice

Selling a company is often a very emotional matter, especially when it comes to succession planning. In this case, a trustworthy and discreet partner can be of great benefit. I support you in selling your company or in a management buy-out by planning and structuring a professional and confidential sales process. I focus on highlighting your potential and presenting it to the strategic buyers identified together with you. Of course, I actively support you in the negotiations and guide you to the maximum selling price thanks to my many years of expertise. Many managing directors do not consider in this situation that their interests can be contractually stipulated. I make sure that your interests are protected.

My requirements of youYour company has an established business model and has been successful in the market for years. Your company generates an annual turnover of at least CHF 3 million.

Buying Businesses

Do you not only want to grow organically, but also pursue a buy & build strategy and take over competitors, for example? As a reliable partner, I will support you in company acquisitions and strategy development with maximum growth success.

Multiply your turnover by acquiring companies

Acquiring companies is often a long and nerve-wracking process and is clearly a matter for specialists. I work with you to develop a sustainable growth and corporate strategy and carry out a professional market screening in each industry that fits the strategy to identify the best possible targets. This is followed by a list of opportunities and risks in the respective market segment in order to organise the approach to the acquisition targets. Of course, 100 per cent anonymous and confidential. I actively support you in negotiations and the submission of offers, as well as in the financing for the transaction. In this area, I structure the entire process, including the mediation of the appropriate bank. By searching for suitable investors, I ensure that you only have to contribute 0% equity in the best case scenario.

My requirements of youYou are looking for a company with a turnover of at least CHF 5 million!

Business Development

Do you value entrepreneurial independence and autonomy? Do you want to organise your company in a way that makes it attractive to a buyer – even if you have no intention of selling? I can help you with this.

A business that's always ready to sell – even if you're not

Focusing on the value of your business gives you a decisive advantage. You can sell immediately if an irresistible offer comes along. But in any case, you will sleep better at night knowing that you own a business that can be sold. A valuable company is characterised by the fact that it can move forward without you. If your company is valuable, you are more likely to receive offers for your company without your intervention. This gives you room to manoeuvre when it comes to negotiating a sale.

My requirements of youYou are a company that is established in the market and now wants to reach the next level. As an entrepreneur, you are determined to position your company in such a way that it can function without you in the future. 

Alternative Investments

Do you have sufficient liquidity and are considering investing in other areas for diversification reasons?

Sustainable returns through productive investment

In my advisory work, I regularly come across attractive opportunities for investors. I offer professional investors a range of investment options, from company participations to investments in industry or theme funds. Where it makes sense to do so, I bring people with similar interests together. For further options and details, please contact me directly.

My requirements of youYou have at least CHF 0.5 million in disposable funds that you can invest for at least 5-10 years within the framework of regulated investment structures.
