Newly promoted Bundesliga club are searching for an investor who is in it for the long haul: "These days you cannot achieve success in football without money. But it isn't the only success factor"

Bochum have achieved promotion to the Bundesliga and want an investor who can help take the club to new heights.

High valuations in Germany, however, in combination with its 50+1 rule, means taking on a stake in the club is not as straightforward as in other leagues.

Managing director explains members are looking for a partner that wants to actively partake in Bochum's growth over the next ten years.

Simplicity and continuity are two of the club's unique selling points, rare in an industry that tends to favour short-term planning.
