RPC Capital typically engages with small and medium-sized enterprises for periods ranging from five to eight years, targeting companies that operate in structurally healthy, stable, and growing industries. In addition to majority stakes in cases of corporate succession, management buy-outs (MBOs), or management buy-ins (MBIs), and spin-offs/carve-outs from conglomerates, RPC Capital is one of the few investment firms in Switzerland to offer minority stakes for a variety of situations. Businesses in the second and third economic sectors with strong market positions and clear, positive growth prospects are well-suited for RPC. This includes companies that have navigated through transitional periods and are back on a growth trajectory. RPC targets sectors such as industry, crafts, infrastructure, and traditional trades with a minimum annual turnover of 2 million Swiss Francs. RPC Capital places a high value on the quality of management. 

RPC Capital views itself as an equity partner that does not interfere in day-to-day operations but insists on contributing to strategic decision-making processes through advisory boards or supervisory boards. The interdisciplinary team brings a depth of experience from over 200 completed investment cases and bespoke investment models. The primary goal, for the benefit of all stakeholders, is to increase corporate value and achieve collective success during the partnership. Fair and collaborative interactions with all business partners are a matter of course. 

RPC offers individualized succession solutions tailored to the situation and needs of each company and entrepreneur. In corporate succession, the history of the company, its connection to the location, employees, customers, and other stakeholders play a significant role. However, RPC places special emphasis on the individual situation and needs of the entrepreneur and their family, as they have often spent decades building their life's work and wish to see it continue in good hands. 

Flexibility is a key success factor in capital and operational succession and must be considered in planning and implementation. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for succession, hence RPC is flexible in terms of investment horizon. The ultimate goal is the joint, successful implementation of the succession and the subsequent realization of growth potentials. 

The range of sale proportions varies from minority sales to complete divestment. A joint transition phase is ideal for implementing the succession gradually and preparing the successor for the upcoming task. The role the entrepreneur assumes after the business succession depends on their own visions and the operational successor already in place. The operational succession can be internal or external. If no internal succession is possible, RPC proactively supports the search for a suitable candidate who not only possesses the necessary professional expertise but also fits the company's culture. RPC has a wide network of 

contacts in various industries and maintains a pool of potential candidates to whom it is happy to introduce the entrepreneur. 

For RPC, maintaining the company's identity and continuity is important and often an integral part of the future business partnership.
