Starting point
The company plans, builds and operates solar and battery storage parks. After years of strong growth, the founders wanted to secure part of their wealth while gaining capital and expertise for larger projects.
The founders wanted to keep running the company themselves – they were looking for a partner, not a new owner.
Our mandate
We advised the founders on structuring a partial sale and specifically approached investors who think like entrepreneurs and stay on board for the long term.
- Structuring of the stake and governance rules
- Approach to family offices focused on energy and infrastructure
- Negotiation of a clear exit perspective for the founders
Outcome
A family office has acquired a minority stake. The founders retain the majority and operational control, have significantly reduced their personal risk and have the funds for their next project pipeline.
