Schütz-Beratung

What Schütz-Beratung does

Schütz-Beratung GmbH is a privately-held German professional services firm headquartered in Zwickau, Saxony, operating since 2002 as a dual-division business consulting and commercial real estate platform. The Unternehmensberatung (management consulting) division delivers strategy development, investment advisory, succession and shareholder planning, mergers & acquisitions support, turnaround and restructuring, and municipal consulting — primarily to small and medium-sized enterprises in West Saxony, Northern Bavaria, and Eastern Thuringia. The Immobilienmanagement (real estate management) division provides commercial property brokerage, project development, financing support, property administration, photovoltaic consulting, and DEKRA D1 certified property valuation, serving investors and businesses buying, selling, or renting office, retail, and industrial properties in the same three-state corridor.

The firm earns revenue through two primary models: project-based professional services fees for consulting and property management engagements, and transaction-based commissions for commercial real estate brokerage. Go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, driven by referrals, word-of-mouth, and a deep partnership network with RKW Sachsen, RKW Thüringen, IHK Chemnitz, KfW Bankengruppe, BAFA, Sächsische Aufbaubank, Bürgschaftsbank Sachsen, regional Sparkassen, IVD Bundesverband, BVMW, Immobilien Scout, and a network of tax, legal, and audit advisors. The company has completed more than 750 projects cumulatively and lists automotive retail (Autohaus Baude & Werner representing VW, Audi, Skoda), industrial manufacturing, electrical, automation, feed, media, and laser-processing clients in its reference base.

Schütz-Beratung is family-owned with two managing shareholders (Josef Schütz, Dipl.-Bankbetriebswirt (BA); Christian Schütz, Bankkaufmann, geprüfter Immobilienmakler EIA, DEKRA D1 certified property valuation expert and certified turnaround manager from HTW Dresden) and one authorized signatory (Peggy Rohs, Dipl.-Ing. (FH)). There are no institutional investors, parent companies, subsidiaries, or funding rounds disclosed. The firm holds 11-50 employees and operates from a single Zwickau headquarters, with no public revenue or financial disclosures available.

• JLL Germany (Jones Lang LaSalle): Global commercial real estate services firm with German operations covering brokerage, valuation, project development and property management. Comparable on the real estate pillar of Schütz-Beratung but at vastly larger scale and full-service depth.
• RSM Germany: Germany arm of global mid-tier advisory network serving Mittelstand with consulting, M&A and restructuring services. Comparable target clients and service mix, with broader geographic and capability coverage.

Others
