PHILOSOPHY

PHILOSOPHY

It is important to us that companies develop continuously and successfully in the long-term.

CSSP-Holding is a family-owned holding and consulting company based in Salzburg, Austria and Munich, Germany with an operational and long-term approach for acquisitions.

Unlike rather short-term oriented private equity funds or passive financial investors, we see ourselves on the one hand as possible buyers of long-standing successful companies in an unregulated succession situation, in a carve-out situation or in a difficult development phase. On the other hand, we see ourselves as buyers of companies that need innovative ideas to take the next big step.

Many companies reach a point where they must consider a partial or total sale. Whether it is a matter of succession, reorganization or capital.

Then it frequently requires a new outside majority shareholder. However, this can only be achieved if these new shareholders are true partners and entrepreneurs who want to actively and operationally develop the company.

CSSP is precisely that partner.

We start with the promise to use all our experience and competence to provide new opportunities for your company, as well as to preserve or lead it into a new phase that is right for you.

INVESTMENT SITUATIONS

The investment focus of CSSP investments is on possible acquisition companies in the following situations:

  • Succession:
    Entrepreneurs and businesses looking for a successor and the continuation of their business

  • „Spin-offs“ or „Carve-outs“:
    Carve-outs of non-strategic business segments of larger companies

    Low-profitability or slightly loss-making businesses that are undergoing or require a change or transformation process

  • Annual turnover between 5 million EUR to 150 million EUR (small to medium sized companies)

    • Retail and service companies

  • Existing companies with a solid business and organization and with an existing product- and sales structure

  • Companies with growth and development opportunities in terms of sales and earnings

  • Companies in the GAS (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) region – opportunistically also across Europe, especially neighboring countries such as Italy, BeNeLux, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe
