An answer to your questions

The road to international success

Why should you consider selling your business to an international buyer? Do you limit your search for potential buyers to the Dutch market or is it better to take an international approach to the sales process?

What are the differences between (inter)national buyers

In a foreign transaction, entrepreneurs are usually paid between 15% and 50% more than in a domestic transaction. Want to know more about the history, trends and figures of recent international mergers and acquisitions?

International growth: stand-alone or through acquisitions?

Of course, you can always start your own business abroad, but isn't it better to buy a company abroad? After all, starting too small abroad in a rapidly developing market may not be the best choice.
