Who can and will successfully lead your company into the future? This question will arise for you at some point—whether you are a founder reflecting on your personal succession at the end of a successful career, or whether a change in shareholder structure is imminent within your family business.

Capiton is well-acquainted with such transitional situations through decades of experience. Together with you, we will find the best solution and support you in transferring your life’s work into new hands and a value-enhancing future: self-determined, strategically planned, and to the benefit of all parties involved.

You know the company and the market, and you have proven your management expertise. Now you are ready to realize your vision and take on full entrepreneurial responsibility for the entire business. Your next logical step may be a management buy-out or management buy-in.

We can support you on this path to becoming co-owner and managing director. With our long-standing expertise in strategic and operational matters and by providing the necessary capital for the acquisition, we are the right partner at your side. Let’s talk about your opportunities and get started.

You have big plans for your company and a clear vision for the future – but lack the equity to make it happen? Capiton is the private equity investor that recognizes the potential of your vision and enables its realization through growth financing.

Whether you want to invest in machinery and equipment to expand production, acquire a new site, or scale your sales activities internationally, we provide the advice and support you need on your growth journey.

Buy & build: Grow quickly, increase your market presence and thus become even more successful: this is the aim of a buy and build strategy. It is promising in unconsolidated sectors and future markets. Here you have the opportunity to develop your company into a market champion in a short space of time through targeted acquisitions.

As an investor, we support you with the necessary capital. We also contribute our know-how and decades of expertise from numerous buy and build transactions to the partnership. In this way, you benefit from our knowledge – for example, when it comes to integrating acquisitions into your organization and building a group – and sustainably increase the value of your company.

In large companies and corporate groups, profitable and future-oriented business units can emerge that eventually no longer fit the organization’s overall strategy. A carve-out – the separation and transformation into an independent company – is then the right path forward.

Following the carve-out, the new company can develop independently and pursue its own growth and future plans. To do so, however, it requires both sufficient financial resources and experienced management. Capiton, as an advisory investor, contributes both and provides the decisive impetus for a successful outcome.

What can happen if the value development phase of your company planned with Capiton extends beyond the regular term of the Capiton fund invested in? The answer is unbroken dynamism and determination, because in such cases we can set up a continuation fund if necessary and raise fresh capital for your company for further growth and development measures.

The advantage: with the help of the continuation fund, we can sustainably exploit the jointly defined development potential beyond the fund term. Capiton remains on board and continues to support your company and the management in the new fund structure.
