When it's time to step back, you shouldn't have to hand your company to the highest bidder or a faceless fund. I buy €1–5M businesses from owners in Poland moving into retirement — and hold them for the long term. Your team, your brand and your name stay. My own capital, no brokers, complete confidentiality.
Hands-on owner
Poland & Germany
I'm not a fund chasing a quick resale. I look for one good business at a time, and I plan to own it for years. Here is what that means for the company you built.
No restructuring playbook, no layoffs to flatter a spreadsheet. The team that built the business keeps their jobs — and gains a hands-on owner.
The brand you spent decades earning trust with stays. Clients keep the relationships and the quality they rely on.
I buy to operate and grow, not to strip and flip. No quick resale, no asset-stripping — a stable home for what you created.
"I built and handed over three of my own companies. I know what it means to trust someone with your life's work — and I treat every business I buy the way I'd want mine treated." — Alex Tsishuk
Solid, essential businesses with a real team and steady customers — the kind built patiently over many years.
No auction, no parade of strangers through your offices. Just a direct, confidential conversation between you and me.
A direct, confidential talk — you share six basics, and nothing leaves the room.
An indicative, no-obligation offer based on your real numbers.
Financing and checks run discreetly, without disrupting the business.
We sign, and I take care of your team and clients through the transition.
"I've built businesses, met payroll, and handed companies to new owners. I buy the way I'd want someone to buy from me."
Twenty-plus years running P&L across cross-border trade, a private-market fund, an FMCG scale-up and e-commerce — three businesses built and handed over, 50+ people led. Today I look for one good Polish or German business at a time — to own, protect and grow for the long term.
