What is an Ownership Transition?
An Ownership Transition is any strategic change in who owns the company—such as a full or partial exit, a buyout, or generational succession. AstrisNexus helps you prepare for these events with clear materials and curated introductions to aligned advisors and capital partners.
Which companies can apply for ownership transition preparation?
We support established businesses in the EU, UK, EEA, or Switzerland—typically with €2M+ in revenue. We prepare you for exits, buyouts, and successions through investor-grade materials and strategic matchmaking.
What types of investors are involved in Ownership Transitions?
Depending on your goals, this may include Private Equity firms, Family Offices, or strategic buyers. AstrisNexus connects you with investors experienced in acquisitions, buyouts, or minority recapitalisations—matched to your sector, stage, and transition type.
Do I need a deal team in place before applying?
No. AstrisNexus can help you assemble the right team. We introduce M&A advisors, legal experts, financial and tax specialists—based on your needs and deal structure.
How does AstrisNexus support Ownership Transitions?
We create investor-ready materials, resolve gaps and inconsistencies, and introduce you—confidentially—to aligned advisors and investors based on your sector, strategy, and goals.
