Descriptiontext

UnternehmensGut Asset Management GmbH is an owner-managed, independent German private equity and asset management firm headquartered in Frankfurt am Main (Neue Mainzer Straße 66-68, Eurotheum). The firm operates an evergreen fund that invests exclusively in German mid-sized companies (the Mittelstand), taking both minority and majority equity participations. It positions itself as a long-term partner on equal footing, with no predefined exit strategy, and targets companies requiring succession solutions, management buyouts, shareholder restructuring, growth financing, or buy-and-build strategies.

The firm's core offerings are capital and strategic advisory — not software or technology products. Services span the full lifecycle from strategy development to operational execution, with a stated emphasis on supporting internationalization, digitalization, innovation, and new business field development at portfolio companies. Distribution is purely direct relationship-based: senior partners engage Mittelstand owners, management, and boards through personal networks and referrals, with no intermediaries, retail channels, or product-led sales motion.

Revenue is generated through equity investment returns from the evergreen fund, including value appreciation, dividends, and eventual exits. The firm has disclosed four portfolio investments to date: Image Access GmbH (scanning/digitalization, 2025-03-17, majority), Celltherm Isolierung GmbH (refrigeration cells, 2024-06-04), Schmidt + Bartl GmbH (technical plastics, 2023), and Heizungsdiscount24 GmbH (heating equipment discount, 2024, co-invested with VR Equitypartner). The team is small (1-10 employees) and led by founders Jens Fürbeth (Managing Partner) and Jochen Ahl (Senior Partner), with Steffen Hensel (Partner, Head of Investments).
