Momentum advises Tiffinger & Thiel Group GmbH on the sale of Probonio GmbH
Momentum advised Tiffinger & Thiel Group GmbH (“Tiffinger & Thiel“), a leading IT service provider, on the sale of Probonio GmbH to Bikeleasing, a subsidiary of Brockhaus Technologies AG.
Probonio (“Probonio”), founded in Landshut in 2022, is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider for managing a variety of employee benefits. Through its self-developed platform and app, employers can currently offer more than ten different benefits to their employees, which are then managed in a user-friendly cockpit. These benefits range from non-cash benefits and meal subsidies to corporate fitness and the technical integration of providers of company bicycle leasing or company pension schemes.
BLS Bikeleasing-Service GmbH & Co. KG (“Bikeleasing“) is a digital B2B financial platform for the highly automated mediation, financing, and administration of company bicycle leasing contracts through the employer, majority-owned (52%) by Brockhaus Technologies AG. Brockhaus Technologies AG (BKHT, ISIN: DE000A2GSU42), based in Frankfurt am Main, is a publicly listed technology group that acquires high-margin and high-growth technology and innovation champions with B2B business models in the German SME sector.
With the transaction, Bikeleasing intends to complement its already successful services in the field of company bicycle leasing. With the user-friendly software solution offered by Probonio, Bikeleasing expects to achieve a significantly higher penetration among its existing approximately 62,000 corporate customers with more than 3.4 million employees in the future than has been achieved so far. In addition to company bicycles, it will now be possible to obtain further benefits through the fully digitized platform in the foreseeable future.
