Management Buy-In (MBI)<\/strong><\/h4>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

aim.group<\/strong> invests together with an external manager, who takes over the operational management of the company after the acquisition and participates as a shareholder.<\/p>\n

We have built up a successful track record in MBI transactions, in which we always acquired companies for 100%. By doing so, we offer a solution for ambitious managers who wish to do business and for selling shareholders who wish to sell due to a lack of internal or family succession.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The focus is always on long-term value creation, as we invest with our own patient capital. In doing so, we build companies <\/span>on a stand-alone basis and<\/span>\n at their own pace, while respecting the corporate identity.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
