Over 500 investors in the DACH region — strategic buyers, investment firms, family offices and MBI candidates. The investor database is the basis from which we select the truly fitting capital providers for each transaction; our investor network is the channel for discreet, personal outreach.
Free & non-binding: initial consultation and first assessment by the experts at IGCP Capital Partners.
An investor search is only as good as the access to the right capital providers. For more than 20 years IGCP has maintained its own database of over 500 active investors in the German-speaking region. What matters is not the number but the selection: for each transaction, depending on industry, size and occasion, different investors are relevant. We make that selection before any name is mentioned.
Companies from the same or an adjacent industry; willing to pay for synergies.
Funds with a return target and a holding period of several years; management stays.
Wealth of entrepreneurial families; long horizon, no forced exit.
Specialised in corporate holdings, some run with an industrial hand.
Experienced managers and entrepreneurs willing to take over and run a company themselves.
Equity-like capital without a transfer of voting rights.
You want to sell entirely — to a strategic buyer or financial investor who secures value and continuity.
No successor in the family or company? An investor or MBI candidate takes on responsibility and life's work.
Capital for sites, products or acquisitions — without giving up the majority.
Your management takes over — or an external manager buys in. We structure and finance with the right capital providers.
Confidential enquiry
Form or email — free, non-binding, no registration.
Target profile & selection
Joint initial call; a longlist of truly fitting investors is drawn from the database.
Anonymous outreach
Investors receive an anonymised teaser; your name is only disclosed after a signed confidentiality agreement.
Selection & negotiation
Several interested parties in parallel create comparison and negotiating power — through to closing.
The difference from platforms
You do not list your company. It appears in no public directory. The database works for you — not the other way around.
| Public matching platform | Company & succession marketplace | IGCP investor network | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Access | Self-registration | Listing | Confidential enquiry |
| Visibility | Profile for registered users | Public listing | No public visibility |
| Investor selection | Algorithm or self-search | Inbound enquiries | Curated longlist per transaction |
| Outreach | Wait | Wait | Active parallel outreach |
| Negotiation | On your own | On your own | Led by IGCP |
| Confidentiality | Limited | Low | Maximum, NDA before name disclosure |
Platforms and marketplaces have their place — for smaller transactions and broad buyer searches. Where confidentiality, price and fit matter, the path leads through curated outreach. Marketplaces compared.
