KERN – Unternehmens­beratung für Unternehmens­nachfolge in Münster

We were very satis­fied with Mr Claus from the KERN compa­ny. In parti­cu­lar, his commit­ment helped us a lot in organi­s­ing a successful succes­si­on for a craft business. We are happy to recom­mend Mr Claus to others.

Beson­ders gut an KERN und Herrn Ingo Claus hat mir der sehr profes­sio­nel­le und vertrau­ens­vol­le Umgang mit mir als Unter­neh­mens­ver­käu­fer und den Inter­es­sen­ten gefal­len. Herr Claus handel­te stets lösungs­ori­en­tiert und stand in einem ständi­gen Dialog zwischen mir als Verkäu­fer und den poten­zi­el­len Erwer­bern. Auch wenn es am Ende zwar nicht zu einem Verkaufs­ab­schluss gekom­men ist, was äußeren Umstän­den geschul­det war, so bin ich mit der geleis­te­ten Arbeit von Kern, Herrn Claus sehr zufrie­den gewesen und würde Kern und ihn jeder­zeit und unein­ge­schränkt weiterempfehlen.

As an entre­pre­neur with over 40 years of profes­sio­nal experi­ence, you certain­ly know a lot about a lot of things, but in no way about “succes­si­on”. :-). I can only highly recom­mend Nils Koerber and Ingo Claus. Emotio­nal­ly, human­ly and profes­sio­nal­ly, succes­si­on is one of the most diffi­cult tasks that an entre­pre­neur has to solve. The help, advice & support is worth its weight in gold and has really helped us in all aspects of this very complex topic. And it all worked out.

When unexpec­ted compli­ca­ti­ons arose during negotia­ti­ons for the takeover of a practi­ce, I turned to KERN and Mr. Ingo Claus. From the very begin­ning, I felt profes­sio­nal­ly accom­pa­nied by Mr Claus and that I and my interests were optimal­ly repre­sen­ted. Thanks to Mr. Claus’ negotia­ting skills, his objec­ti­ve, clear, goal-orien­ted commu­ni­ca­ti­on, his efforts to find a good soluti­on for both parties to the contract and his outstan­ding abili­ty to calmly media­te and maintain an overview, a soluti­on satis­fac­to­ry to both sides (!) was quick­ly found for the takeover of the practi­ce. Many thanks!

I got to know Mr Claus in 2010 as part of an expan­si­on project for an owner-managed compa­ny. During this time, I came to appre­cia­te his goal-orien­ted approach and his abili­ty to get to grips with the speci­fics of family businesses. I am happy to recom­mend him.

Mr. Ingo Claus had accom­pa­nied us in the diffi­cult task of finding a suita­ble succes­sor for our expert office. We owe the unexpec­ted­ly successful sale of our compa­ny to him. Mr Claus has a fine sense for tricky negotia­ting situa­tions, skilful­ly and calmly he finds the right ideas for soluti­ons that are accep­ta­ble to both contrac­ting parties. Mr Claus accom­pa­nied the project with a wealth of experi­ence, knowledge of human nature and negotia­ting skills. We are happy to recom­mend him.

From the very first moment, Mr. Ingo Claus unders­tood how to create a very trusting basis for the start of the project - to form a basis for discus­sion among the share­hol­ders within the frame­work of a workshop, so that a very effici­ent further develo­p­ment of the ideas could take place within the compa­ny. We would like to thank you for this very pleasant and trusting coope­ra­ti­on and will gladly recom­mend your group of compa­nies to others.

I got to know Ingo Claus from KERN as a speak­er at a highly recom­men­ded workshop on the topic of selling a compa­ny. Using many examp­les, he descri­bed the complex process of finding a succes­sor in a very practi­cal way.
