Which path fits you?

VOS Autopilot
The digital platform for business succession. Evaluate your company, prepare documents, find a successor – step by step, without expensive consultants.
VOS Assessment & Advisory
In-depth analysis of your company across 7 modules. Personal guidance from experienced advisors – from score to transaction.
Not sure which path is right? No problem – the VOS Autopilot shows you automatically which path fits you.
The most common problems in business succession: unclear valuation, missing successors, expensive consulting, employee concerns, taboo topic, no family solution. VALENTYR solves these problems systematically.
Does this sound familiar?
Most business owners face the same questions when it comes to the future of their company.
“What is my company actually worth?”
Without professional valuation, many owners leave money on the table – or scare off buyers with unrealistic prices.
The VOS Score shows you within days what your business is really worth – based on 7 modules, not gut feeling.
“I simply can’t find a successor.”
Conventional platforms list thousands of offers without vetting. Without preparation, your business gets lost.
VALENTYR prepares your business so it’s immediately clear and attractive to buyers – including automatic buyer matching.
“A consultant costs a fortune.”
€30,000–80,000 for M&A advisory? That doesn’t add up for many businesses. Yet you still need professional support.
VOS Autopilot starts at €149/month. Professional preparation without breaking your budget.
“What happens to my employees?”
A well-prepared sale protects jobs. When the successor knows exactly what they’re taking over, teams stay intact.
VALENTYR documents processes and team structures so the successor can take over seamlessly – your team stays.
“I don’t like talking about it.”
Succession is taboo for many. But early planning is the best protection for everything you’ve built.
Start discreetly with the Assessment – nobody finds out. Get clarity before you need to tell anyone.
“My children won’t take over.”
Over 80% of successions go to external buyers. That’s not a defeat – it’s a huge opportunity for your business.
VALENTYR connects you with vetted external buyers who want to continue your business – not dismantle it.
90% of entrepreneurs enter the sale unprepared.
The result: lower prices, longer negotiations, failed deals. We show you in 3 minutes how to do it better.
“Business succession is never just a deal. It’s about your life’s work, your employees, and your future.”

Why I founded VALENTYR.
“I’ve seen entrepreneurs sell their life’s work below value – not because the business was bad, but because nobody prepared it properly. I wanted to change that.”
VALENTYR gives business owners the tools that were previously only available to large corporations with expensive advisors. Fair valuation, clear documentation, real buyers – for every business.
What Business Owners Say
These owners took the step – and don’t regret it.
“I had no idea what my business was really worth. After the VOS Assessment, I knew: 15% more than I thought – but only if I changed three things first. That’s exactly what I did.”
“My children didn’t want to take over. I was frustrated. Through VALENTYR, I understood: an external buyer isn’t a defeat. My team stayed, the business continues.”
“€30,000 for an M&A advisor? Impossible at my revenue level. The VOS Autopilot showed me for €149/month where I stood and what to do. After 7 weeks I was market-ready.”
What Entrepreneurs Really Want to Know
Honest answers to the questions we get asked most often.
We help business owners prepare their company for a sale or handover. Specifically: We evaluate your business, prepare all documentation, identify where value can be increased – and connect you with matching buyers or successors.
The VOS Autopilot (from €149/month) is a digital platform that guides you step by step through the entire process – ideal for businesses up to €750,000 revenue. The VOS Assessment (€3,500 one-time) is for larger companies and includes an in-depth analysis by experienced advisors with a personal review.
Especially then. Most entrepreneurs lose money because they only start preparing when it’s already time to sell. Knowing early what your business is worth and where weaknesses lie lets you fix them calmly. This increases value – whether you sell in 2 or 10 years.
Typical M&A advisory costs €30,000 to €80,000 – often with success fees and long commitments. The VOS Autopilot starts at €149/month. The Assessment costs €3,500 one-time and is 100% creditable if you choose an annual program.
With the VOS Autopilot, you’re market-ready in 6–8 weeks. With the Assessment, you get your score and report immediately after the 60-minute review. How quickly you proceed from there is up to you.
All of them. Trades, retail, hospitality, services, IT, manufacturing – the fundamentals of good sale preparation are industry-agnostic. Whether hair salon or machine shop: valuation, documentation, and buyer matching work everywhere.
Nobody except you – unless you actively share it. Your data is stored on German servers (GDPR-compliant). No buyer, no partner sees anything without your explicit approval.
Then we show you exactly why – and what you can do to change it. That’s precisely the point: Don’t fail at the sale, but identify and fix problems beforehand.
92% of our prepared entrepreneurs sell within their target price range. The key: professionally prepared businesses don’t just sell faster – they sell better.
Yes. The VOS Autopilot is cancellable monthly, no minimum commitment. The Assessment is a one-time payment – nothing to cancel. No subscription traps, no fine print.
No. We don’t take success fees or a cut of your sale price. Our pricing is transparent and fixed. This way, we can honestly tell you what your business is worth – without our own incentive to distort the price.
Absolutely. Whether your business goes to an employee, an external team, or a strategic buyer – the preparation is the same. The VOS Score and documentation make the transition cleaner in every scenario.
Then now is the right time. Many businesses have weaknesses that can be fixed in 2–4 months – if you know about them. The Assessment uncovers exactly these points so you can solve them before the sale.
No. Everything runs discreetly. Your data is stored on German servers, GDPR-compliant. No buyer sees your business until you explicitly approve it. Anonymous profiles are standard.
“Will someone sugarcoat my business?” – No. VALENTYR only works when the analysis is honest. Even when it hurts.
Your business deserves the right path.
