After further talks took place and the Schlawiens' wishes and ideas became clear, CARL was able to start the goal-oriented investor search. Important documents were submitted for the preparation of the information memorandum, which included key business figures and forecasts as well as information on the product range, the market, employees and suppliers. During the search for investors, Videosystems Sicherungstechnik Vertriebs GmbH turned out to be an attractive investment, as expected, mainly due to the stable figures despite the Corona pandemic. Thus, there was a high level of bidding competition between several, suitable investors from all three buyer groups - private equity funds, strategic investors as well as management buy-ins. This interest persisted into the final phase of the process.

In the end, the entrepreneurial couple decided in favour of the financial investor Beyond Capital Partners GmbH. The latter bought XorTec GmbH, also a video surveillance technology company, at the beginning of the year and is now using synergy effects of both companies. The sales price resulting from the competition was 30% higher than initially expected by the two managing directors. The couple is satisfied with the new management and is particularly pleased with the short project duration.
