A private equity firm is eyeing my business, offering €2,400,000. Currently, we’re pulling in around €1.2 million, with a tidy 25% profit margin. As an apartment block management firm, I began this venture in 2019 at 21 as more of a side gig, never anticipating it would grow to oversee 1,200 units. It’s pretty surreal. I started with no capital, and all four of my staff, earning €30k annually, were trained by me. Now, facing this private equity proposition, I’m a bit in the dark. Any tips for a first-timer in dealings with a PE company?

Great offer, probably more than it is worth right now. However, I would consider all of the below:
Where I am getting at is while this is a great offer if you, for example, see a realistic chance of getting this to a place where you will be making 500k profit a year while being hands off you pretty much can retire wherever you live or finance other ventures while having a stable cash flow. While 2.5m is nice money but dependable on where you live it might not be retirement level of money.
