“A partner who understands both the process and the entrepreneur makes the difference.”

Eurosafe has grown into the market leader in the Netherlands and a top 3 player in Europe when it comes to working safely at heights and in confined spaces. A professional organization with international ambitions and concrete growth plans that require a strategic financial partner.

Raeth assisted Eurosafe in decisive steps: from new construction financing to the complete takeover of their English participation.

The challenge

Eurosafe wanted to invest in the future: a new headquarters with extra space for a customer contact center and an impressive 20 meter high training room with demo setups for working at heights and in confined spaces. In addition, Eurosafe wanted to increase its minority stake in the English subsidiary. Both processes required a solid funding structure and a partner who understands the business and entrepreneurs.

Our role

We fully assisted Eurosafe in two financing processes:

• New construction financing for the head office in Zwolle.
• Additional funding to increase the minority stake in Eurosafe Ltd. in the United Kingdom

We carried out the process from intent to realization, provided clear support to the financiers and coordinated all financial, legal and strategic steps.

The process

Thanks to our long-term relationship with Eurosafe's shareholders and management, we already knew their course, market and ambitions well. This ensured speed and confidence in both routes. We combined our expertise in financing, buy-and-build and legal support to unburden the overall process. This was done in close cooperation with Emile Kaal, who provided the financial reports.

The result

Both funding was successfully provided based on the submitted plan. Eurosafe now has a modern headquarters that houses one of the largest training facilities in Europe for safety training. In addition, the strategic position in the United Kingdom has been strengthened by expanding the equity stake. The company is ready to achieve its further international growth ambitions, both operationally and financially.
