International buyers, international opportunities: FBM offers entrepreneurs access to an international network of M&A specialists and investors
An increasing number of mergers and acquisitions are international in nature. Dutch entrepreneurs selling their businesses are increasingly dealing with foreign buyers. At the same time, entrepreneurs looking to grow are increasingly turning to other countries in search of promising acquisition targets. A strong international network is of great value in this regard.
FBM Corporate Finance is capitalizing on this as one of the founding partners of Fusio Global Partners, an international alliance of independent corporate finance and M&A advisors. Through this network, FBM has access to experienced local advisors in various international markets.
International reach, with FBM’s trusted approach
For our clients, this means they can rely on a combination of local market knowledge and international expertise when conducting international transactions. FBM remains the primary point of contact and manages the entire process from the Netherlands, while collaborating with specialized partners in the relevant country as needed.
This is relevant, for example, when selling a Dutch company to a foreign buyer. Our international partners are familiar with the local market, relevant buyers, and the dynamics of cross-border transactions. Conversely, they can call on us when foreign entrepreneurs or investors are interested in Dutch companies.
International cooperation thus strengthens our capabilities in the following areas:
- International Sales Processes – Access to Foreign Strategic Buyers and Investors.
- Cross-border acquisitions – assistance in identifying and evaluating potential acquisition targets in other countries.
- International Value Creation – insight into international market trends and opportunities for growth and buy-and-build.
- Local expertise – collaboration with advisors who understand the market, culture, and transaction dynamics in their own country.
More and more companies are being sold internationally
The international market is playing an increasingly important role in business acquisitions. Foreign buyers may be interested in Dutch companies because of their market position, technology, customer base, expertise, or growth potential. For entrepreneurs looking to sell their business, it may therefore be worthwhile to consider buyers beyond the Netherlands.
In our recent inspiration paper , “Selling Your Business Internationally,” we take a closer look at the opportunities and considerations involved in an international sale. An international buyer can be an interesting strategic fit and, in some situations, can also lead to a more attractive sale price.
