The right tool for a Germany-focused searcher who wants to maximise their visibility into listed succession opportunities without manually checking dozens of individual platforms every week.
Viaductus is a German digital platform that aggregates business succession listings from over 70 broker websites, marketplaces and succession exchanges across Germany into a single searchable interface. For search funds focused on Germany it functions as a time-saving aggregator layer, giving searchers a consolidated view of what is listed across the German succession market without needing to monitor each platform individually. Rather than replacing nexxt-change or dub.de, Viaductus pulls their listings together alongside dozens of other sources into one search.
Why searchers use it
Monitoring the German succession market manually across 70 platforms is not realistic for a searcher who is also running a direct outreach programme. Viaductus solves this by aggregating all available listings into a single weekly or daily check. A searcher using Viaductus alongside nexxt-change and dub.de gets comprehensive market visibility with far less effort. The platform also uses AI-powered matching to surface listings that fit a searcher’s acquisition criteria, reducing the time spent reviewing irrelevant opportunities. Its focus on the German Mittelstand succession context, with explicit coverage of search funds and ETA, makes it one of the few platforms that genuinely understands the searcher’s perspective.

Honest limitations
Because Viaductus aggregates listings from other platforms, a searcher will see many of the same listings that also appear on nexxt-change and dub.de. It is a convenience layer rather than an exclusive source of unique deal flow. Listings from private networks, tax advisor referrals and direct owner contacts, which represent a significant portion of the German succession market, are not captured by any aggregator. Viaductus is strongest for searchers who want comprehensive coverage of the publicly listed market, not as a replacement for direct outreach.
