FOR ENTREPRENEURS

You built more than a business.
Build what comes next.

Bakktz gives entrepreneurs the support, scale and strategic capability to grow further—while preserving the autonomy, identity and relationships that made their business strong.

For Entrepreneurs

Why choose
Bakktz

This is the foundation upon which a founder’s decision is made. Most entrepreneurs hand over their life’s work only once. At that defining moment, they are not looking for an abstract EBITDA multiple.

  • They are looking for trust.
  • They are looking for certainty.
  • They are looking for a lasting future.

For that reason, the Bakktz model goes far beyond a purely financial transaction. It addresses both the economic reality and the emotional value of what has been built.

For Entrepreneurs

What the
entrepreneur retains

The most immediate concern in any business transfer is the potential loss of autonomy. Our model is specifically designed to eliminate that risk.
The entrepreneur remains actively involved and retains a central, guiding role. The philosophy behind this is clear: creating true alignment.

The founder remains operationally in charge and continues to invest economically in the company’s future expansion. This ensures:

  • Uninterrupted continuity for customers and employees
  • A balanced operational and financial risk profile
  • Continued entrepreneurial motivation
  • Sustainable strategic alignment of interests
What remains fully intact in practice?

  • Local identity and culture
  • Established brand name and reputation
  • Deep, personal customer relationships
  • Day-to-day operational responsibility
  • Authentic entrepreneurship

We firmly believe that exceptional companies are built by local entrepreneurs who understand their market — not by a centrally controlled head office.

For Entrepreneurs

A second
entrepreneurial phase

Many founders see a business transfer as the inevitable end of a chapter. We take a fundamentally different view.
We believe that a transaction can become the foundation for a new and dynamic phase.

That is why we deliberately commit to a model in which entrepreneurs remain actively involved. In the initial phase, we typically acquire a majority stake. The entrepreneur remains a substantial shareholder, stays operationally in charge and continues to share in the company’s future growth.

Over time, there is always the possibility of a full exit. What makes Bakktz unique, however, is the option to roll over into the holding structure and participate in the growth of the entire group.

This creates a dynamic that is rarely found in traditional acquisition processes. The entrepreneur does not simply liquidate a life’s work.

They gain the opportunity to help build something larger:
a platform in which complementary companies strengthen one another, unlock new market opportunities and create more value together than any individual company could create alone.

Why the Model Works

At the initial transaction, we deliberately acquire a strategic majority stake.

 

  • Typical range: 51% to 60% of the shares.
  • The founder retains a substantial and meaningful minority interest and remains at the helm of the organisation.

The rationale is alignment. When both partners benefit proportionately from future value creation, this leads to sharper decisions, stronger collaboration and better long-term results.

Discover Our approach

A new
entrepreneurial phase

Where traditional parties position a transfer as an endpoint, Bakktz redefines it as a strategic new beginning.

We are entrepreneurs ourselves, with people on the payroll and a practical understanding of day-to-day operations. We do not dictate from an ivory tower. We believe that the best decisions are made locally.

Phase 1 — Build Together

We acquire a strategic majority stake of 51% to 60%, allowing you to secure a substantial part of the value you have built.

Phase 2 — Grow Together

The entrepreneur remains operationally in charge of the business. The brand, culture and unique DNA remain intact.

Phase 3 — Stay Invested

The entrepreneur retains a meaningful stake and benefits directly from the collective growth of the platform.

This creates a rare dynamic in the acquisition market. The entrepreneur does not merely sell an individual company. They gain the opportunity to build something bigger: a group in which businesses strengthen one another, unlock new market opportunities and create more value together.


You built more than a business.
