ENTREPRENEURS

As the investment arm of the owner led Berylls Group, we at Berylls Equity Partners are entrepreneurs first and foremost. We provide entrepreneurial capital and always play an active part in our portfolio companies. Our investment approach is sustainable and long-term: we only invest in companies if we have complete confidence in their future.

Whether as majority or minority shareholders, we always take a collaborative approach on an equal footing with existing shareholders. Our expertise and implementation capability as the Berylls Group, in combination with our industry network, enable us to develop tailor-made solutions for each special situation and then implement them using our own resources.

CORPORATES

Using our sustainable takeover concept, we ensure a smooth, rapid takeover process that involves all stakeholders. As part of the Berylls Group, we bring with us expertise, implementation resources and capital strength, even for highly complex carve-out situations. Our recipe for success is always a cooperative approach geared towards long-term, enduring relationships.

We also work jointly with corporate buyers on target businesses in special situations. We may take management control for a defined period of time and assume responsibility for the restructuring, reorientation or post-merger integration of the company. We are happy to be a partner for a pre-defined time frame and only withdraw after a successful conclusion of jointly defined tasks.

INSOLVENCY ADMINISTRATORS, BANKS, & TRUSTES

At Berylls we understand special situations – and as an owner-managed, independent investment company we can react flexibly to them. Together with the expertise and implementation resources of Berylls Group and our industry network, we can guarantee a fast and collaborative deal execution.

We see the early involvement of all significant stakeholders as the key to success in finding prompt solutions for the transaction as well as for the implementation phase that follows. We are
Different because we only engage with companies in special situations if we have confidence in their prospects in the mobility industry based on our long-standing market expertise. That informed confidence is the basis on which we secure sustainable success for all stakeholders.
