We have been working together with different Verium representatives for many years. I very much appreciate the professional, trustworthy and respectful collaboration.

Buy-and-build

Together with Verium we further developed basefit.ch to the leading Swiss premium discount fitness chain and within three years were able to increase the number of locations from 6 to 33. Verium supported us with their expertise at all times during this exciting period, but also gave us the necessary entrepreneurial freedom to successfully implement the clear buy-and-build strategy.
