Acquisitions
Our Process

Arkad acquires majority stakes in
established mid-sized companies.

We invest in companies with established, profitable business models and significant growth potential. Our focus is on structurally stable or growing markets and businesses we can clearly understand. Target companies generate more than €10m in profitable revenue and are headquartered in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.

As a long-term owner, we provide capital and entrepreneurial expertise to accelerate organic growth and execute add-on acquisitions. Buy-and-build is a core part of our development strategy and enables us to build leading company groups at pace.

Straightforward, reliable & fair.
A Process with us.

Step 1

Introduction

Our process begins with a personal dialogue. We openly assess whether there is a basis for a long-term, trusted partnership. For us, successful collaboration is built on genuine partnership.

Step 2

Offer

Once a shared vision is established, we submit a binding offer outlining the key transaction terms. For this, we require the last three annual financial statements and a high-level outlook for the business.

Step 3

Due Diligence

We then conduct a detailed bilateral due diligence of your company without external advisors. The review covers all commercial, legal, financial and tax matters and is typically completed within a few weeks.

Step 4

Signing & Closing

Following a successful review, we sign the transaction documents and your company officially becomes part of Arkad. We then begin working together immediately to drive continued growth and future success.
