About SwissSuccession
SwissSuccession is the confidential platform for the transfer of Swiss professional businesses — connecting owners preparing their succession with qualified buyers, in four languages.
Why we exist
Thousands of well-run Swiss businesses face the same question: what happens when the owner steps back? Too often the answer is a rushed sale, a closure, or a listing on a generic marketplace that treats a life's work like a classified ad.
SwissSuccession was built for one purpose: to give Swiss business owners a discreet, structured way to find a successor — and to give serious buyers access to real succession opportunities they would never otherwise see.
How the platform works
Confidential by design
Listings start anonymous. Buyers see a structured teaser and only access identifying details after signing a confidentiality undertaking and receiving the owner's approval.
Structured, not advertised
Every opportunity follows the same format: sector, canton, revenue range, asking-price indication, reason for transfer. Comparable, discreet, and serious.
A complete deal workflow
Access requests, messaging, a secure document room, written offers and a deal timeline — the whole transaction, in one place, without exposing either party prematurely.
An ecosystem, not a marketplace
A business transfer needs more than a match. SwissSuccession brings together the professionals a transaction requires: valuation guidance, acquisition financing, fiduciary and tax support, and transaction legal services — selectable when you need them.
Aligned incentives
Free to explore. Free to list. We earn a success fee only when an introduction made on SwissSuccession turns into a completed acquisition — capped and transparent, published on our pricing page.
