Capital · industry knowledge · customers · suppliers · team · technology · network · access to new markets.
Valuation · ownership percentage · voting rights · information rights · management · distribution policy · dilution · exit rules · shareholder agreement.

Depending on the opportunity and agreement, a passive, advisory or operational role is possible.
Transferring GmbH shares generally requires notarisation.
