Then you are likely facing the following challenges:
Your mid-sized company has well-trained staff, but no clear successor with entrepreneurial ambition and sufficient capital for the takeover has emerged.
Determining the achievable market value of a mid-sized company is often complex and depends on many factors.
The unresolved succession situation may unsettle your employees.
Your company is not yet sufficiently prepared for a sale, as selling has never been considered before.
Personally, financially, and operationally, you want to preserve value and create freedom – selling your business contributes to these goals.
You have built your company over many years or are running it in the second or third generation, and now, for the first time, you are facing the challenge of selling your business.

The collaboration with Peter and his team was highly professional and led to a successful business sale. Peter impressed with his expertise, commitment, and appreciative communication, which made the entire process much smoother. The sale was completed stress-free and within a short time. I highly recommend him without reservation.
Before working with Venture Advisory Partners, I was unsure whether consulting for a business sale would be worth it. Today, I know that without this investment, the sale would never have been so successful. Mr. Nadolinski and Mr. Balsys exceeded my expectations. Within just eight months, a stress-free sale took place, allowing me to choose the ideal buyer from multiple interested parties.
With great dedication, we built our premium brand in the cat food and cat furniture sector. Thanks to VAP’s support, we received numerous buyer inquiries and found the ideal buyer to carry our vision forward. The sale was professionally managed, resulting in a win-win situation for all parties involved. Without VAP, we would not have achieved this fantastic outcome.
Working with Peter Nadolinski as an external CFO was a real asset. He provided full transparency on our financial situation and identified key levers for increasing profitability. The financial plan he developed gave us, for the first time, a strategic management tool. Peter's expertise and clear communication delivered real added value – highly recommended!
To plan my succession, I was looking for a buyer who would continue my life's work and be a good personal fit. Mr. Nadolinski and his team impressed me with their professionalism and extensive expertise. The sales process was nearly stress-free and successfully completed within nine months. I found the ideal buyer and sold at an attractive price.
Thanks to Peter and his team, we were able to successfully close our seed financing round with suitable investors. Venture Advisory Partners provided us with competent support, helped us structure our case and produced valuable intros. Their expertise was decisive for the entire process. I highly recommend working with every e-commerce founder.
Our compensation model follows common market standards. It consists of a monthly base fee for the duration of the collaboration, as well as a success fee based on the sale and receipt of the purchase price. Legal advisory services are not included in VAP’s offerings – if needed, we are happy to recommend competent and experienced law firms with whom we have successfully closed deals.
Mid-sized companies do not always have access to optimal data quality. We address this challenge by extracting the maximum insights from available data to provide buyers with a solid foundation. Additionally, we obtain direct contact details from tax advisors during the preparation phase, ensuring that key financial discussions can be handled efficiently. This helps reduce the time investment for business owners while achieving excellent results and ensuring a fast, streamlined process.
Before starting a sales process, we get to know you and your company and assess your individual situation. If selling your company is a viable option, we provide a detailed initial valuation free of charge, based on market standards, and generate the first buyer candidates. Based on this, you can decide whether to mandate VAP. Once you choose to work with VAP, the sales process is structured into five phases: the preparation phase, market approach, due diligence, negotiation phase, and closing phase. You should plan for a total process duration of six to eight months.
VAP exclusively applies valuation methods that derive a realistic and market-based valuation range. The multiples method is the primary approach, as it serves as the most important negotiation basis, particularly in the SME segment.
