Entrepreneurial equity for special opportunities

felix-tschopp_portrait-02

Every business reaches moments when capital alone is not enough. Restructuring, expansion, succession or a change in ownership call for clear direction as much as for funding.

We pair institutional discipline with an entrepreneurial approach to buy, build and grow businesses. We strengthen leadership, strategy and operations to turn decisions into results. Quality, innovation and speed define how we work.

The future belongs to businesses that remain relevant while the world around them changes

Our business

About

Ownership means responsibility for results.

An owner-led investment and advisory firm

Tschopp Group is owner-led and based in Zug, Switzerland. Our name reflects the entrepreneurial values of its founder and his family. It stands for personal accountability and lasting commitment.

More than three decades in entrepreneurship, investment, corporate development, management and governance shape how we judge each opportunity.

Independent by design

Independence gives us the freedom to decide quickly, choose the right partners and act on conviction.

Approach

We invest in businesses and use our advisory and operating capabilities to build and grow them.

Capital, direction and execution

We invest across industries in situations of succession, ownership transition, underperformance, restructuring and the next stage of growth. The ownership structure follows the business and the opportunity.

From the first day of ownership, we combine capital with strategic advice and operating capability. We set the direction, strengthen leadership and operations, and buy, build and grow businesses through clear objectives, decisive action and consistent execution.

Active Ownership Investments®

Capital invested. Expertise applied. Performance delivered.

Portfolio

Opportunity-driven, megatrend-oriented and built for long-term ownership.

Building strategic positions

Tschopp Group develops its portfolio opportunity by opportunity.

We invest selectively across industries in businesses with substance and unrealised potential, where technological, demographic or economic megatrends provide the basis for building a strong strategic position.

Long-term by design

We hold what we build for as long as it continues to develop.

Team

Founder-led, and complemented by selected partners for each situation.

Expertise when it matters

Tschopp Group is led by its founder and owner. Selected partners, executives and specialists contribute where their experience is relevant to the task.

This combines direct decision-making with the management depth and specialist expertise complex situations demand.

One team

The right partners, at the right time, for any situation.

Principles

How we invest, decide and work with people.

What guides us

More than three decades of entrepreneurial experience have shaped these principles:

  • We are owner-led, that keeps us independent
  • We think in generations, not quarters
  • We are entrepreneurs, never administrators
  • We execute to the highest professional standards
  • We have the courage to take risks where others step back
  • We go the extra mile for uncompromising quality
  • We treat everyone with respect, appreciation and tolerance
Reputation first

No single deal is worth compromising our reputation.
