BayBG invests in SM Selbstklebetechnik

The deal addressed the company's succession planning challenge, with BayBG providing the outside management team with financing to purchase the company after the retiring owner put the business up for sale.

The new management team bought 100% of the shares in SM with BayBG's six-year mezzanine loan and their own capital.

The management team stated that BayBG's offer to finance the management buyout, while allowing the team freedom of movement in their daily operations, was a perfect fit.

BayBG was interested in the company because it operates in a niche market, and due to the management team's qualifications.

Christian Krause of BayBG arranged the transaction and carried out the company's due diligence.
