Hamnett Enterprises sits in Eschborn, a few minutes from Frankfurt, and most of its consulting clients and all of its acquisition targets are in the Rhein-Main region: Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Mainz, Darmstadt, Offenbach, the Taunus towns, and the industrial belt around them. The posts under this tag are about doing business here. They cover the local succession market and the number of companies looking for a buyer each year, where the region's owner-run firms cluster by trade, which chambers, banks, and advisers matter for a small company, and what a Frankfurt address costs against one twenty minutes out. They also record events, meetings, and observations from the ground that are useful to an owner or a founder in the area. The figures come from public statistics and from our own work, with the source and the period stated. Read this tag if you run, sell, or want to start a company between the Taunus and the Odenwald.
The average German consulting day cost €1,300 net in 2025. We put all 34 fixed prices of our six practices beside the German market range with a source for each, work out what a managing director in Frankfurt pays a top-tier firm, a boutique and a freelancer, and show the BAFA grant for Hessen on a worked example.

What consulting costs in Germany: 34 prices vs the market →We counted the public succession exchange nexxt-change for Hesse ourselves on 25 August 2026: 412 sale offers, 291 buyer listings, 39 listings in Frankfurt am Main alone. Plus the asking prices, the KfW figures scaled down to Hesse, and the free appointments where sellers and buyers meet.
The Frankfurt succession market in numbers (2026) →We buy companies at €300,000 to €1M in Rhein-Main and hold them permanently. Before we talk about price we read four things in a fixed order. That order is the checklist for any owner who wants to sell a small business in Germany, with the numbers on multiples, seller loans, and transaction costs.
Selling a company in Rhein-Main: what a buyer reads first →GEO is the work that gets a company named or linked in the answers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google and Copilot give. It has no settled price. We publish what cited pages have in common, what we did on our own site, and the 20-prompt panel we run on four engines every month to find out whether any of it works.

GEO for small companies: getting cited by AI answers →A first-time buyer with around €400,000 wants three owner-run businesses in Hessen. With a bank the programme needs €450,000, without one €1.29M. We rank eighteen financing routes, show why debt cover depends only on the multiple, and check KfW, Bürgschaftsbank Hessen and WIBank terms as of today.
Buying a company: €450k with a bank, €1.29M without →A Frankfurt owner who wants to grow in Rhein-Main and sell abroad asks whether he may email strangers. In Germany the answer is no, in London to a limited company it is yes. Seven countries with the statutory wording, the cost of one warning letter, and the reply rates that actually hold up.

Cold email is banned in Germany. Where it is lawful →We modelled a web studio for trade businesses in Rhein-Main and buried the idea. Then we measured what nobody in Germany has measured since 2018: 142 tradespeople's websites drawn in Frankfurt and the surrounding towns, 122 read in full. Every one carries an Impressum. Three in four offer neither a price nor an appointment.
