Kubera Equity specializes in the sale of Swiss SMEs to external buyers. We focus on full or majority share sales and support business owners from initial valuation to closing.

We are industry-agnostic, provided the business has a minimum enterprise value of CHF 300,000 and operates with solid financials and professional bookkeeping.

We do not:

• Search for companies on behalf of buyers
• Arrange family or employee successions (e.g. transitions to children or staff)
• Facilitate mergers or joint ventures
• Work with businesses in the gastronomy sector (e.g. restaurants, hotels, bars)

To be sellable, your business should be profitable and supported by clean, complete, and professionally maintained financial records. Without these basics, a successful sale is extremely unlikely.

We begin with a free consultation, review your financials, and assess your company’s value. If you decide to move forward, we match you with suitable buyers and guide you through every step — from intro to closing — with no fees unless the deal is completed.

We’re a Zurich-based, boutique M&A advisory firm focused solely on Swiss SMEs. We work discreetly, commission-only, and offer highly personalized support — no retainers, no fixed fees, no pressure.

With our end-to-end startup expertise – covering financial planning, go-to-market execution, and growth strategy – we’ve become a trusted partner for many serial entrepreneurs who value our practical experience.

Yes — we offer a professional, no-cost valuation after our initial consultation. It’s based on your financials, market environment, and relevant benchmarks — so you know where you stand.

In cases where the financials are particularly complex (e.g. multiple subsidiaries, unclear ownership structures, foreign entities, or missing documentation), we may need to discuss a custom solution.

Most sales take between 6 to 9 months, depending on deal complexity, preparation quality, and the pace of buyer negotiations. We keep momentum and help you navigate the process efficiently.

Our main focus is on representing sellers. That said, we maintain a vetted list of serious buyers and match them with relevant opportunities as they arise — but we do not search actively on behalf of buyers.

Start with clean financials (P&L, balance sheet, tax returns), legal clarity, and well-documented operations. We’ll walk you through anything that’s missing during our first review.

We take the time to understand your business, your story, and your personal goals. Whether you’re ready to sell or just exploring options, we help you evaluate what makes sense and when.

Our success-based model means you only pay a commission if we successfully sell your business — no retainers, no upfront fees. However, if you decide to cancel the process after we’ve significantly advanced the process already, an exit fee may apply, scaled according to how far along we are. This ensures fairness and protects the value of the work we’ve invested.

Our success fee follows a tiered structure based on the final transaction price. The higher the price, the lower the marginal commission rate – with a cap at CHF 30 million. If the final sale price is below CHF 500,000, we will provide a custom offer tailored to the specific case.

Commission tiers:

Transaction price between CHF 500,000 and CHF 3 million

• 5 % commission on the total sale price

Transaction price between CHF 3 million and CHF 6 million

• 5 % on the first CHF 3 million

+ 4 % on the portion between CHF 3 million and CHF 6 million

Transaction price between CHF 6 million and CHF 30 million

• 5 % on the first CHF 3 million

+ 4 % on the portion between CHF 3 million and CHF 6 million

+ 3 % on the portion exceeding CHF 6 million (up to CHF 30 million)
