Supervising takeover and financing processes with Van Klompenburg
Van Klompenburg is an administration and tax consultancy firm in Oldebroek, with a strong relationship base and in-depth knowledge of their financial management and taxation.
When Van Klompenburg customers face a crucial business decision when it comes to acquisitions and financing, we work together. They know the entrepreneur inside out. Raeth adds deal making, her network and strategic guidance on these components. A win-win for all parties.
The challenge
Van Klompenburg does not have a Corporate Finance department, but wants to provide its customers with high-quality services in the field of business transfers and complex financing. For her customers, she was looking for a party that can implement this without losing its position itself. This is also the case for an internationally active e-commerce party that is the market leader in the Netherlands.
Our role
Together with Johan Stip, co-owner and tax lawyer at Van Klompenburg, we visited the client and took on the role of Corporate Finance Specialist. In doing so, the following steps were taken:
- The wishes and ambitions of the entrepreneurs were brought into sharp focus.
- An international market orientation was carried out.
- Appropriate strategic and investing parties were approached.
- The entire negotiation and deal structure was supervised.
Because Johan Stip remained closely involved, he maintained the relationship and continuity in services while we took over the specialist process.
The process
In the first discussions, it became clear that it was a company with international growth potential. Together, we defined the ideal buyer profile, drew up a longlist and had the first exploratory discussions. When there really was a match, the entrepreneur joined. In this way, the process remained clear, efficient and careful.
The result
After a broad international process, the entrepreneurs ultimately chose a party that best suited their values, ambitions and vision for the future, with room to remain partly connected as a shareholder themselves.
The result for the customer: a smooth transfer, a new CEO with international experience and future-proof company growth. The result for Van Klompenburg: a satisfied customer where Van Klompenburg's services have continued.
