In many family businesses, crucial strategic decisions will need to be made in the coming years. Ambitious growth plans require capital, and the succession of operational leadership must also be carefully prepared. At the same time, the macroeconomic environment remains challenging, and many entrepreneurial families are considering diversifying the wealth tied up in their companies to create financial security for the next generation.

A proven strategic response to these challenges can be the participation of an external minority investor. This approach provides additional growth capital, adds industry expertise, and offers support for buy-and-build strategies—while ensuring that entrepreneurial control remains within the family. For example, in 2024, AHT LabTech Holding GmbH & Co. KG, owned by the Eberle family, brought Bregal Unternehmerkapital on board as a minority shareholder to enable the company’s next phase of growth.

The central questions are: Is a minority investment the key to financing growth while meaningfully diversifying the family’s asset base? And how can governance, investor rights, and exit mechanisms be structured to preserve long-term orientation and family control?
