Frequently asked questions
What investment stages does Andreas and Peiffer typically target?
The firm targets mature small-to-medium enterprises, often at a point of distress or transition. This includes management buyouts for succession-driven sales, corporate carve-outs from larger groups, and turnaround situations where liquidity or operational performance has deteriorated. It generally avoids pure startups and venture-stage companies.
How does Andreas and Peiffer source proprietary deal flow?
Deal flow is primarily relationship-driven, sourced through long-standing networks in the German Mittelstand, insolvency administrators, and local banking partners. The firm's reputation for executing complex restructurings gives it early access to off-market opportunities that require operational intervention rather than simply capital, a sourcing advantage in the fragmented DACH-region lower middle market.
