SENIOR LIVING | RESIDENTIAL | GERMANY
Germany is facing a structural housing crisis for its aging population. With over 22% of citizens already above 65 — a figure projected to reach 28% by 2050 — and a shortfall of approximately 400,000 purpose-built senior living units nationwide, this demand is not cyclical. It is demographic. Germany currently needs 41 new care homes completed every month through 2040. It is building fewer than two.
We develop energy-neutral, barrier-free residential and healthcare properties purpose-built for aging communities in Germany and the Netherlands. Every project meets the highest standards of accessibility and energy efficiency — including KfW-40ee certification, one of Germany’s most rigorous energy performance standards for buildings.
We do not break ground speculatively. We secure long-term lease agreements or pre-sales before construction begins, giving our investors clarity on returns from day one.
CONSUMER GOODS | FOOD | GROWTH-STAGE BUSINESSES
We take strategic minority or majority stakes in established businesses operating in large, international markets — with a particular focus on consumer goods and food. We do not invest in startups or unproven concepts. We invest in businesses with demonstrated revenue, strong management teams, and a clear path to the next stage of growth.
The businesses we back are not looking for passive capital. They are looking for a partner who has been on both sides of the table — who understands operations, governance, and what it actually takes to scale.
We are not passive observers. Every equity participation includes active involvement: capital, M&A expertise, strategic guidance, and board-level counsel. We help set strategic direction, make key introductions, support acquisitions, and navigate complexity alongside management — from the moment we invest through to exit.
Our governance approach is straightforward: board representation where it adds value, clear alignment of interests between our team and yours, and complete transparency throughout the partnership.
If you are running a business with genuine growth potential and want a partner who will stay engaged and add value beyond the cheque, we would like to hear about it.
M&A ADVISORY | BOARD SERVICES | TRANSACTIONAL EXPERTISE
Over 30 years, our leadership has guided mid-market organizations through some of their most complex and consequential decisions — acquisitions, refinancings, strategic partnerships, ownership transitions, and governance challenges across European markets.
If you are a business owner navigating a transaction, a management team preparing for a sale or acquisition, or an organization that needs experienced board-level counsel during a period of change, this is where our experience creates the most direct value.
We advise top league large businesses internationally (Germany, Denmark, Netherlands), as well as young entrepreneurs and family offices.
We advise on transactions. We serve on boards. We provide growth capital where it creates the most strategic leverage. Our involvement does not end at signing — we remain engaged partners through implementation, integration, and whatever comes next.
Every engagement begins with a direct conversation. We work with a select number of advisory clients at any given time, which means the relationships are substantive and the involvement is genuine — not a name on a letterhead.
The standards that never change
Regardless of discipline, every opportunity Consus considers is assessed against the same foundational criteria. This is not a checklist — it is a reflection of what thirty years of experience has taught us about where value actually lives.
We invest where demand is driven by demographics, regulation, or structural market gaps — not by trends, sentiment, or short-term cycles. If the underlying need disappears, so does the return.
We only invest where we can identify specifically how value will be created and how we will contribute to it — through capital, expertise, governance, or operational involvement.
Every investment is screened against environmental, social, and governance criteria. This applies equally to the properties we develop, the businesses we back, and the partners we work with. ESG is not a filter we apply at the end — it is part of how we evaluate from the beginning.
We are transparent about how and when we expect to realise returns — for ourselves and for our investors. Ambiguity around exit is a red flag, not a negotiating position.
In equity participations and advisory work, we back people as much as we back businesses. Track record, integrity, and the genuine ambition to build something lasting are non-negotiable.
