# Revampion

> Revampion is a Switzerland-based acquirer and long-term operator of founder-led Swiss SMEs (CHF 1M-10M revenue, 10-250 employees). We acquire profitable, founder-led companies and run them for the long term, alongside the team that built them. For founders preparing the business for succession on a different path, we offer structured services for operational and digital transformation.

Revampion is a trusted successor and a long-term holder. We hold the equity, take operating responsibility, and stay with the company through and beyond the handover. Our incentive is the long-term health of the business, not a closing date.

## What we do

### Acquisition and long-term operation (primary)

- **We acquire** profitable, founder-led Swiss SMEs in the CHF 1M-10M revenue band.
- **We operate** the companies we acquire, alongside the existing team. Team continuity is a precondition of every acquisition.
- **We hold** for the long term. No fixed exit horizon.
- **What we look for**: founder-led, CHF 1M-10M revenue, strong existing team, Switzerland-based, long-term outlook, specialist or family-owned (specialist manufacturing, professional services, distribution and logistics, industrial technology, family-owned trade, healthcare services).

### Structured services (when acquisition is not the path)

For founders building toward another path (family succession, MBO, external sale, gradual founder step-back), we offer four structured engagements that prepare the business for any chosen succession:

- **Succession Readiness** (6-10 weeks, fixed fee). Confidential diagnostic for handover, internal succession, family transition, management buyout, or sale. Founder dependency audit, governance and ownership review, successor profiling, first-90-day priorities. URL: /services/succession-readiness/
- **Founder Dependency and Knowledge Capture** (3-5 months). Decision register, key relationship map, critical process notes, founder handover playbook. URL: /services/knowledge-capture/
- **Digital Operations Modernization** (4-9 months diagnostic). Systems map, ERP/CRM consolidation, reporting plan, vendor-agnostic recommendations. URL: /services/digital-modernization/
- **Responsible Automation Roadmap** (3-6 months). Automation that compounds the team's judgement and continuity. Human-in-the-loop, reversible by design. URL: /services/responsible-automation/

## Who we serve

Founder-led Swiss SMEs, typically CHF 1M-10M revenue, 10-250 employees. Fit depends on founder dependency and transition quality more than size alone. Working language: English, German (Swiss-Hochdeutsch), French (Romandie), Italian (Ticino).

## How we differ from other counterparties

- We are operators and we hold the company. We deploy our own conviction, take operating responsibility, and stay with the business through and beyond the handover.
- We work alongside fiduciaries, lawyers, tax advisors, M&A firms, and SME bankers. Trusted advisors stay central to the founder's decision; we strengthen the operating foundation that supports their work.
- For founders not ready to sell, our structured services build operational readiness on terms the founder controls, in time for whichever conversation does come.
