Acquisition criteria​

We acquire solid businesses across Europe. Our passion is to help nurture these businesses into perpetuity. We are flexible in our approach. We offer a fair, simple solution to selling your business.

Partnerships flourish when there are mutual benefits and value for all parties.

Dear Business Owner,

We know that thinking about selling your business is not easy.

You’ve built something over years — sometimes decades — with care, grit, and vision. You’re proud of your story, as you should be. But now, perhaps, it’s time to step back. And with that decision comes a weight: What will happen to the people you’ve hired and nurtured? To the legacy you’ve spent a lifetime building?

After speaking with many business owners across Europe, we’ve heard the same deep concerns again and again: most buyers focus on numbers, not on people. They don’t understand the emotional side of succession — what it means to entrust your life’s work to someone else.

That’s why we started The Perpetuity Project.

We come from families who built and ran businesses. We’ve operated businesses ourselves. We know the pride, the responsibility, and yes, the worries that come with ownership. Above all, we know that the soul of a business lives in its people — those who show up every day, serve clients, solve problems, and carry the mission forward.

We’re not looking to flip your company or squeeze out short-term profits. Our goal is to be a permanent home for great businesses — where teams are respected, clients are served with care, and legacies are honoured over decades, not quarters.

We hope that ten years from now, you’ll be able to look back with pride at the decision of choosing The Perpetuity Project as the permanent home for your business.

Our promise to you is: every decision we make will be guided by a single question — what’s best for the long-term health of this business?

Thank you for considering us as stewards of your legacy.

Walter, Jojo & Andre
