Founded as an Internet agency
in the 1990s, Business Net Partners
developed into a managament
consulting and private equity
boutique.

The founders Christian Schwarzkopf and Jörg Stein started the business
in 1996 providing IT solutions and webdesign for SMEs and public institutions.
The company expanded with Tim Lagerpusch joining in 2005 and built
up its consulting expertise and later its startup activities. Thus it gradually
shifted focus to become a managament consulting
and private equity boutique.

From the beginning, Business Net Partners stood out with the collaboration of external senior advisers and student consultants in each project. The effective teamwork between students and experts results in high-value services at exceptionally low budgets. This principle has been professionalized over the years building the base for our success today.
The project area has broadened, with today's focus on management consulting. In the first place, small medium enterprises were consulted on business development questions - from business planning, to competitor benchmarking up to classic market analyses. Later, large corporations followed with new assignments for project- and knowledge management.
In 2008 the company split-off most of its IT segments to become an established consulting boutique and business angel group.


We are proud of our 3-tier-system to form individual projects teams, which has proved itself over the years at many clients in different industries and business areas.

3-Tier-System

Business Net Partners is based on a 3-tier-system, combining the strengths of professional consultants and senior industry experts (senior advisers) with high-potential students. For our clients, this represents the ideal mix of experience, up-to-date knowledge and competitive pricing.

In a Business Net Partners team, professionals & students work together, (i.e. from the areas of industrial engineering and management, business informatics and economics) matching experience with newest methods. Moreover, we see ourselves as a young, dynamic company which has grown during the age of internet and networks. This experience – which now affects all companies and business administration – is one of the most important aspects for successful concepts as well as effective implementation.

Therefore, Business Net Partners is always up-to-date and we are able to deliver professional know-how, proven methods and creative ideas in the conceptual phase as well as for the implementation for value-for-money prices.


The direct integration of students into the project teams ensures a permanent link to universities and high-potential students. Thus our constantly growing pool of consultants is ensuring that Business Net Partners will remain your modern, trustful partner with young and dynamic as well as experienced people.
