Frequently asked questions.

Jonas Schmitz is an entrepreneur based in Koblenz, Germany, working at the intersection of business, culture and society. His focus is on business succession, regional development and long-term structures.

The team stays the team. People are not a line item: those who have carried the business carry it on, and the business keeps its name. These commitments are written down on the succession page so they can be measured later.

Months, not weeks. A handover follows five steps — from a first visit at your premises to a calm transition — and the former owner helps set the pace. A no is an accepted outcome at any point.

Nothing, and it commits you to nothing. It takes place at your premises, not in an office — and if you prefer, your tax adviser can make the first contact.

From Koblenz, across Rhineland-Palatinate and the neighbouring regions — between the Rhine, the Moselle and the Eifel. For ventures with a genuine fit, beyond that.

Through long-term participations and co-investments alongside operating involvement. Detailed documentation is available on request and always distinguishes clearly between what exists and what is planned. The first step is a direct conversation.

The press section provides biographies in three lengths, cleared quotes, a complete dossier as PDF and a media kit — ready to use without prior request.

Directly by email at info@jonas-schmitz.com or through the contact form. Enquiries arrive personally — there is no agency in between. There is deliberately no telephone number on this site: anyone who would rather speak than write leaves their number in the form and gets a call back, within the same two working days.
