For business owners
Considering who comes next?
If you've built something worth carrying forward, the question isn't just who can afford to buy it — it's who will run it the way you would have.
Why an operator-led buyer
Thomas has already led a founder-succession buy-in himself, and he plans to run your company the same hands-on way he's run his own since 2024.
One company, full attention
ORENDA is built to acquire a single business and stay with it. There is no portfolio competing for attention, and no partners to satisfy but you and your team.
A patient hold, planned upfront
A 4–6 year hold is the plan from day one, deliberately paced for the business's long-term health rather than a quick resale.
Discretion throughout
Every conversation starts confidentially and stays that way for as long as you need — including with your own team, until you decide otherwise.
Does your company fit the profile?
These aren't hard cut-offs — they're the profile ORENDA is built around. If most of this sounds like your company, it's worth a conversation.
- EUR 2M – 7M EBITDA
- EUR 15M – 80M revenue
- Founded 10+ years ago
- A track record of continuous growth over the last 3–5 years
- High share of recurring or contractually secured revenue
- Asset-light, with no material capital-expenditure need
- No leverage, or leverage that is manageable at acquisition
- No single customer or supplier the business depends on disproportionately
What a conversation looks like

Getting to know the business
If there's a mutual fit, a deeper look at the company together — on your timeline, and as discreetly as you need it to stay.

Terms, then trust-building
Once terms are agreed, the first hundred days are about understanding the business and building trust with your team — no structural changes before that.
