For future entrepreneurs

We help driven professionals with entrepreneurial aspirations to move successfully to run existing well functioning SMEs as the new entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship through acquisition is proven to be faster and less risky path to become an entrepreneur in comparison to founding a new start-up. JATKAJA looks for companies in an entrepreneurial transition phase, but we also help professionals with entrepreneurial aspirations to evaluate the companies they have found and to carry through the transactions. We take responsibility to evaluate and understand the companies, we structure and organize the financing and are prepared to commit to the companies as active longterm owners.
We continue helping the new entrepreneurs after the entrepreneurial transition to grow the business. The support typically focuses on business planning, leading with data, digitalization, professional governance, financing the growth, mergers and acquisition and building the structures for growth.

”Entrepreneurship is not an individual sport. At NeXec the key staff as well as the board members are all owners and we create together the entrepreneurial team. The team has a common desire to advance the company created by the previous entrepreneurs to the next level” tells Mikael of being the new entrepreneur. “Although we were handed over an already great company, from our point of view we are only in the beginning of this growth story and I am very excited to get actualize it together with our team!”
