For searchers and owners in Germany: can you recommend banks / lending partners to finance company acquisitions in a classic equity + debt structure of a self-funded searcher? Any tipps and contacts are appreciated! Many thanks!

My strong recommendation is to try the seller's bank first - they know their client perfectly and should speed up the overall process. I've heard this recommendation from many other successful searchers before.

I agree with @rado - the seller's bank is also familiar with the company. Apart from that, i have heard that Hypovereinsbank can be a good place to start.
