Euroconsil

What Euroconsil does

Euroconsil is a private German business consultancy specializing in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory and corporate succession for small and mid-sized enterprises (Mittelstand) in the DACH region. Founded by Sebastian Göring and headquartered in Kornwestheim (Stuttgart area), the firm operates through eight legally independent regional offices across Germany — including Stuttgart, Dessau, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Berlin, Nürnberg, Ludwigshafen, and Frankfurt/Bad Homburg — each led by a named partner with direct client contact published on the website.

The company's core service portfolio comprises end-to-end M&A advisory, structured around a five-phase process (preparation, outreach, pre-selection, due diligence, closing): Unternehmensverkauf (company sale), Unternehmenskauf (company acquisition), Unternehmensbewertung (company valuation using DCF, multiples, and substance-value methods), and Interne Nachfolge (internal succession planning). The firm supplements these mandates with two digital surfaces — a free online Unternehmenswertrechner (company value calculator) used for lead generation, and a proprietary Unternehmensbörse (company marketplace) — and lists mandates through the European DealSuite platform.

Revenue is generated predominantly on a success-fee basis, typically structured on a Lehman scale (5/4/3/2/1% degressive by transaction value, broadly 3-8% of purchase price for SME transactions), with diligence costs billed separately (EUR 30k-150k depending on complexity). Customer segments are founders and owner-managers of mid-market German SMEs (typically €5M-€50M+ revenue) seeking succession, plus strategic and financial buyers (PE firms, family offices, MBIs, search funds) seeking targets. The firm holds Rank 2 in the DealSuite M&A Mandates LEAGUE for DACH in Q1 2026 (up from Rank 5) and completed a high-profile sale of the Wackerbau-Gruppe to Köster Holding SE in February 2026. There is no public revenue disclosure, no external institutional ownership, and no AI/ML product layer; the model is human-led advisory, executed through named partners.

Products and services

• Unternehmensverkauf (Company Sale Advisory) Full-service, end-to-end advisory for owners of German Mittelstand companies selling their businesses. The engagement follows a defined five-phase model: preparation (market positioning, value-enhancing measures, qualified valuation, buyer profiling), buyer outreach (placement in leading databases, anonymous contact, NDA execution, interest selection), preselection (indicative offers analysis, Letter of Intent negotiation), due diligence (data-room management, bidder coordination, negotiation, multiple-round bidding if needed), and closing (purchase agreement signing, payment security, transition oversight). Success-based fees on a Lehman scale degressive 5/4/3/2/1%.
• Unternehmenskauf (Company Acquisition Advisory) Advisory services for strategic and financial buyers seeking to acquire companies in the German Mittelstand. Includes target identification, valuation, due diligence support, and deal structuring. Engagements use Euroconsil's own buyer/seller database plus the DealSuite platform for off-market sourcing. Predominantly success-based fee structure.
• Unternehmensbewertung (Company Valuation) Professional business valuation combining multiple methodologies — DCF, market multiples (including KMU Multiples Report benchmarks from DUB), and substance value — to establish fair market value for succession, transaction, or strategic planning purposes. The valuation is performed by M&A experts and forms a foundational input to sell-side mandates.
• Interne Nachfolge (Internal Succession Advisory) Advisory for family-owned Mittelstand businesses planning internal leadership transitions to next-generation family members or existing management teams, distinct from external sale. Covers management buy-in/buy-out structuring, governance, financing, tax planning, and transition execution while supporting business continuity.
