Practical, implementable advice
Dutch companies owned by foreign entities. Or vice versa. Foreign companies becoming part of a Dutch enterprise. It's becoming increasingly common. Borders are fading away. And this presents wonderful opportunities if you want to buy or sell a company.
Arpentus is here to help you explore international opportunities. Not just explore, but also seize them. So, we guide you in the same way for an international transaction as we would for a deal within the Netherlands. We can make this happen thanks to our international partners in our Prime Global network. As a Prime Global partner, we can always rely on the assistance of around three hundred qualified partners (with various specializations) in over a hundred countries. This means that we can conduct due diligence in a foreign company as effectively as we would in the Netherlands, for example. Moreover, through this network, we have access to a wealth of international market information.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I find an international buyer for my company?
The starting point is to get a clear picture of the type of buyer you are looking for. For which companies does your business offer the most opportunities or added value? Subsequently, we will compile a long list of companies that fit the profile, either independently or in collaboration with our PrimeGlobal partners. In consultation with you, we will approach a select number of parties. Arpentus, in a sense, constantly keeps its eyes and ears open worldwide for your optimal deal.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of an international deal?
Language differences and distance can be perceived as barriers. Also, the various local market conditions and different laws and regulations can make interpreting figures and performances more challenging. However, with the right partners, these challenges can be overcome. Local partners understand the local culture.
More important than the challenges are the opportunities that an international scope provides. Transactions between companies in different countries can generate significant synergy. For example, an organization can enter an entirely new geographical market through an acquisition. A presence in a specific country can lead to accelerated growth.
What is involved in an international acquisition?
The same as in a domestic acquisition. However, special attention should be given to the differences between cultures, legal and tax frameworks, and governance structures. This is why our guidance is especially important, and our international network is invaluable.
Do you also conduct negotiations in English?
Certainly. We have international education, international work experience, and extensive experience with international deals.
Our mission
When you're considering plans for buying or selling your company, you seek a decisive specialist. A realist. Perhaps an optimist. But not a fantasist. Not a smooth talker. Not a bragger. (At least, that's what we assume. Otherwise, you've found yourself on the wrong website.)
We have fifteen of those decisive specialists, and we're here to assist you. We approach this in a unique manner. Experience has simply shown that entrepreneurs achieve their goals better and faster when we're allowed to be critical. Ask probing questions. Enagage in discussions. If we can take a moment to delve into your inner world. To your motivations and deeper interests. To what truly matters to you.
Then, we accelerate, innovate (even in negotiations), stand firm, and score with precision. This approach demands mutual trust – and yields unparalleled gains. It speaks volumes that our clients affirm this even years after a deal (when the fine print has proven its worth). The secret behind this isn't much of a secret. Arpentus knows what matters. Simply because we've asked about it.

It's not the deal on the table that defines our true success. It's the smile on your face, both now and in the future. That's what drives us. Arpentus. Know what truly matters.
