For Founders
You built a business worth handing over well
When the time comes to step back, your business deserves a buyer who takes continuity seriously and will actually make the company stronger over time. Not flip it, not rebrand it, not dismantle it.
We understand what is at stake
When you decide to sell your business, it is not just a financial decision. It is personal. Your name is on it. Your team trusts you. Your customers rely on the standards you set. Succession planning for a family business or founder-led company is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.
Saha was built by people who understand this. Our model is designed to honour what you created: by preserving it, supporting it, and carrying it forward with the same seriousness you brought to building it. We are not here to rebrand, restructure, or flip. We are here to ensure your business succession is handled with care.
What you can expect from us
Your company keeps its identity
Our strong preference is to preserve the name, brand, and local presence of every business we acquire. Each company continues to operate in its own market, with its own identity.
Your involvement is on your terms
Some founders prefer a clean handover. Others stay involved in an advisory role for a time. We design the transition around what feels right for you.
A fair price, and more than just a number
We offer transparent, fair valuations. We also understand that for many founders, knowing the team and customers will be looked after matters as much as the price.
We don't acquire to restructure
The team you built is central to what makes the business worth acquiring. Decisions about people are made for its long-term health, never for short-term economics.
What makes a good fit
We assess every business against two simple filters: whether it can genuinely continue beyond the founder (transferability), and whether there are specific ways we can help it become stronger in the first twelve to twenty-four months (upgrade potential). Both matter. A business that is transferable but has no room to improve is not enough; neither is a business with upside that cannot survive the founder's exit.
Profitable and established
Founder-led for many years, generally below CHF 10M in revenue. Businesses with a proven track record and steady financial health.
Stable, recurring demand
Revenue that is steady or recurring, not project-based or dependent on a small number of large contracts.
A capable team beyond the founder
Operational strength that extends beyond the founder, with people already in place who can carry the business forward.
A realistic path to handover
A transition that can be thoughtfully planned and executed over a reasonable timeframe, with the founder's involvement.
What it looks like to work with us
There is no pressure and no obligation at any stage. We move at a pace that feels right for you.
A confidential first conversation
We start with a private, no-obligation conversation to understand your business, your thinking, and your timeline. Nothing moves forward unless you want it to.
Understanding whether there is a fit
If there is mutual interest, we take time to understand whether your business fits our model: profitability, team strength, customer stability, and whether the handover can be realistically structured.
Getting to know the business more deeply
We spend time understanding your operations, customers, team dynamics, and the role you play day to day. This is as much about people as it is about numbers.
A clear, fair proposal
We present a straightforward proposal with no aggressive tactics and no last-minute surprises. Fair terms that reflect the value of what you have built.
Due diligence and transition planning
Formal diligence alongside detailed planning for the handover: who takes over what, how customers are communicated with, and what the first year looks like.
A careful, structured handover
We execute the transition with care: founder handover, team continuity, customer communication, and close attention to operational stability from day one.
Your business is worth a serious conversation
If you are beginning to think about what comes next, we would be glad to listen. Everything is confidential, there is no obligation, and the pace is entirely yours.
