28 January 2022
BDO has advised Beyond Capital Partners GmbH („BCP“) on the acquisition of a majority shareholding in Munich-based Industriereinigung Dr. Hoffmann Gebäudedienste GmbH (“Dr. Hoffmann”) via its Beyond Capital Partners Fund II.
A multidisciplinary team from BDO AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft has conducted Financial, Tax and ESG Due Diligence, thereby advising on the post-acquisition M&A value creation strategy in this context.
Frankfurt-based Beyond Capital Partners is an investment company advising its funds on the acquisition of majority shareholdings of profitable small- and medium sized enterprises in the DACH region focusing on the asset-light segments business services, IT, software, healthcare, lifestyle and entertainment.
Dr. Hoffmann - a Bavaria-based and until now owner-managed company that has been in business for more than 30 years - is one of the largest and most well-established facility service providers in Bavaria. Its top-level client base comprises customers from the public sector such as ministries, tax authorities and governmental institutions as well as educational institutions and other trust-, security- and hygiene-sensitive customers.
Christoph D. Kauter, founder and Managing Partner of Beyond Capital Partners, says: “Dr Hoffmann as company as much as its founders with their professional established structureare a perfect fit for our existing portfolio of companies. With its strong position in Bavaria, it will allow us a dedicated future expansion of Dr. Hoffmann into other federal states in Germany, both by adding new customers in the well-known public sector and the first-time-establishment of new customers from the private sector.”
Christoph D. Kauter adds: “We are pleased that BDO with its interdisciplinary team and its strong expertise in medium-sized companies has supported us also in this transaction in the tried and tested manner as a trustworthy due diligence partner.”
