Raab & Kollegen

What Raab & Kollegen does

Raab & Kollegen is a German boutique consulting firm founded in the late 1980s as an interim management and advisory practice focused on bankruptcy proceedings and pre-insolvency restructuring. Following the 1990s replacement of the German Konkursordnung with the Insolvenzordnung, the firm intensified its insolvency consulting operations and progressively broadened its service portfolio. Today, the firm operates from Eching, Germany, as a civil law partnership (GbR) with three equal shareholders—Tobias Raab, Mark Hellwege, and Florian Höltl—and a headcount of approximately 5 employees.

The firm offers six integrated service lines: Financial Advisory, Mergers & Acquisitions, Restrukturierung & Sanierung (restructuring and rehabilitation), Vermögensfeststellung und Verwertung (asset determination and realization), Insolvenz-Services, and Immobilienmanagement (real estate management). Its reported track record includes over 3,000 insolvency proceedings and more than 200 company sales completed over three decades. A wholly-owned subsidiary, RK Partners Real Estate GmbH, manages the real estate vertical as a separate legal entity. The firm serves B2B clients across Germany, including companies in financial crisis, M&A transactions, succession planning, and stable-phase financial advisory engagements.

Raab & Kollegen generates revenue exclusively through fee-based professional advisory engagements with no disclosed pricing tiers or productized offerings. GTM is sales-led, relying on direct website inquiries, professional referrals, and content marketing through its Ratgeber (advisor) educational platform and dedicated Verkaufsportal (auktionen-raabkollegen.de) for asset disposition. The ownership structure is stable and founder-controlled with no external institutional capital, and the firm operates exclusively within the German market with no disclosed international expansion plans.
