Vondel Finance structures and manages mergers and acquisitions. Based on a clear action plan we work with our clients through the various stages of a transaction ranging from the preparation of transaction documentation, the coordination of negotiations and due diligence to the effective closing of the deal.

We facilitate a smooth transaction process and support management and other stakeholders in their decision making processes before, during and after the deal. We do this by providing a full suite of advisory and execution services in acquisition and sales processes, from bilateral negotiated deals to controlled auctions.

The majority of the deals we are involved in are cross-border. We are well connected and have access to a broad international network.

Vondel Finance has a distinctive track-record in deal making for and with private equity. We have done numerous deals for private equity funds, family offices and other investors – as we are familiar with their modus operandi.

Furthermore, on a case-by-case basis, part of Vondel Finance’s remuneration (i.e. the success fee) may be paid in equity. This minimises the cash-out for the acquiring party in the short term and enhances alignment between the parties in the long run.

Vondel Finance has extensive experience in assisting clients with (secondary) management buyouts. We have a particular focus on assisting management in these processes.

Over the years we have successfully initiated, positioned and concluded a large number of management buyouts. Our thorough approach has been a central theme in bringing these complex processes to a successful completion.
