Parents sell the company to kids

For the international business mediator Peter Adler, the problem has led to a trend reversal. "More and more daughters and sons are buying their parents off, not just on paper, but at the real market price," he says. What seemed unthinkable a few years ago now is made by one-third of his clients with family businesses.

Successors pay the overall value of the company in installments instead of letting the company be given. In this way, siblings who have not taken over do not feel that they are too short. And the purchase sets a clear signal to the founders that they are out. Adler recommends that at the beginning, as a clear signal, ten to twenty percent of the purchase price be paid to the parents in cash.
