Mandate

What we do

Europe Brokers is a private acquisition company. We use long-term capital from entrepreneurs and family offices to buy one kind of business: an established European company, run at a profit, whose owner is ready to move on.

We are not a fund raising money to resell in three years, and we are not a broker circulating your company to a list of strangers. When we buy a business, it joins the group and stays there. The people, the name, and the customer relationships continue.

We are
Long-term owners
A single, named buyer
Principal capital
Direct, no fee charged to you
We are not
A fund with a resale clock
An auction with an open data room
Committee-driven
An intermediary taking a commission

How a sale works

From first call to handover

  1. 01

    First conversation

    A single call under NDA. You describe the business; we tell you plainly whether it fits and what happens next.

  2. 02

    Indicative offer

    Within two weeks, a written valuation range and a proposed structure, before you commit to a full process.

  3. 03

    Due diligence

    Four to eight weeks. Financial, legal, and commercial review. We fund our own advisors.

  4. 04

    Signing

    A purchase agreement on the terms agreed up front. No last-minute renegotiation of price.

  5. 05

    Handover

    A transition period you define. The team, the name, and the relationships stay in place.

Approach

Why owners choose us

One buyer, never an auction

Your information stays with us. No teaser sent to the market, no data room opened to a dozen funds.

We hold, we don't flip

Companies we acquire remain in the group. There is no three-year clock forcing a resale.

Terms that favour the seller

Cash at closing and clean structures. Earn-outs only when you ask for one.

Decisions in weeks

Principal capital and a small partnership. No investment committee to wait on.

About

Who we are

Europe Brokers was founded by operators who have bought, run, and sold companies themselves. We work from Amsterdam and Munich, with advisors across the major European jurisdictions.

Our capital is our own and our partners'. There is no external fund and no fixed timeline, which is why we can commit early and hold indefinitely.
