The Search for Successors: A Unique Idea to Save Businesses and Jobs
In the region, there is a growing need for successors who can continue to lead existing companies. Recognizing this issue, three entrepreneurs from Oberlausitz have taken it upon themselves to find a solution. Their idea is one that has never been seen before in the Ostsachsen region.
The roofing master from the Zittauer Gebirge is considering retirement as he has already reached the retirement age. However, he wonders what will become of his life’s work and his employees. He currently employs ten people in his craft business. Although his son is also a craftsman, he has moved away from Oberlausitz. The roofing master does not feel capable of managing his own business with the high financial risks involved. This is just one example among many, as shared by August Friedrich, a young entrepreneur himself. He founded “Sachsen hilft,” a company active in the healthcare sector.
