01 / OUR INITIATIVE
A shared foundation.
True specialists.
Some work is essential to every business. And some companies have been doing it reliably for years.
KLARREST aims to bring these specialists together through business succession, continuity of expertise and shared commercial support.
Our approach combines the strengths of regional businesses with a broader perspective. People, expertise and customer relationships come first.
An initiative taking shape.
We welcome conversations with business owners, industry experts and potential partners.
02 / OUR ACQUISITION FOCUS
Three areas.
A clear starting point.
We are looking for specialist B2B businesses with established customers, qualified teams and documented processes. Our initial focus is Germany, particularly the Rhine-Main area and neighbouring regions.
Service providers for metalworking fluid care, machine and system cleaning, and ongoing fluid management.
- Regular servicing of manufacturing businesses
- Technical knowledge shared across the team
- Transparent job costing and lasting customer relationships
Experienced specialists in commercial chemical and hazardous waste streams, including waste classification, logistics and documentation.
- Qualified staff and appropriate permits
- Established acceptance and treatment routes
- Traceable material flows and a sound operating record
01
A considered transition
The transition should fit the business, its team and its customers. Brand and organisational decisions form part of a jointly developed handover plan.
02
Local operational expertise
Experience and qualifications are fundamental. Future operational leadership and the retention of key employees are discussed early.
03
Build support where it helps
Shared commercial processes, digital documentation and purchasing may offer practical benefits. We assess them for each individual business.
04 / BUSINESS SUCCESSION
Your life’s work.
The next chapter.
A transition begins with a confidential conversation about your goals, your business and a solution that works commercially and personally.
- 01 / GET ACQUAINTED
Start a conversation.
We discuss your expectations, your services and a possible timeline.
- 02 / UNDERSTAND
Examine the business.
Once confidentiality arrangements are agreed, we review financials, contracts, the team, permits and risks.
- 03 / STRUCTURE
Shape a solution.
Price, financing, handover and future responsibilities are developed for each situation.
- 04 / CONTINUE
Manage the handover.
The agreed transition begins with the business only after an agreement has been reached and the transaction has completed.
GOOD TO KNOW
Clarity from
the start.
Who is behind KLARREST?
The initiative was founded by David Serafin, managing director of DAVID SERAFIN CAPITAL UG (haftungsbeschränkt), based in Frankfurt am Main. KLARREST is the project brand of this initiative.
Are any businesses already part of the group?
The initiative is in its development phase. We will announce participating businesses and specific services only after a partnership or acquisition has actually been completed.
Could a partnership be an alternative to an acquisition?
A majority acquisition, a phased transition or other ownership structures can be considered case by case. Clear responsibilities and sustainable financing are essential.
What information is needed for the first conversation?
Initially, your service area, region and expectations for succession or cooperation are enough. We will agree personally on any sensitive documentation.
05 / THE FIRST STEP
Let’s talk
about tomorrow
together.
For business owners, industry experts and partners who want to help shape the next chapter.
