My life's work in the best hands - this is the title of the book by Klaus-Christian Knuffmann, partner and M&A consultant at KERN. Klaus himself comes from a family business that unfortunately did not find a successor, then worked in the private equity environment and has now been supporting company successions in the small-cap segment for a good 15 years.
His own entrepreneurial history, but also the many exciting life and entrepreneurial stories of his clients, have motivated him not to write the classic reference book guide, but to record his experiences in 12 entertaining stories.
And since M&A is often enough very numbers-driven and cold, I am all the more pleased to dive into his stories together with Klaus and share very practical learnings from real cases with you.
We shed light on this in this episode:
- what role the family plays in succession,
- how to determine the lifetime achievement award,
- when the time is right for the succession,
- how to organize the transition phase after the sale,
- and much more...
Have fun listening!
