M&A Advisory

For the perfect fit and guidance

M&A Advisory

We act as advisors to various types of stakeholders in both buy-side and sell-side situations. No Five Trees is a small boutique specialising in mergers and acquisitions, valuations, and finance funding processes in the Netherlands.

Our team provides advice on a wide range of transactions, from startups to larger small and medium-sized businesses, both nationally and internationally. We primarily serve private businesses and venture capital-related companies.

No Five Trees has a proven track record of exceeding expectations during complex and demanding processes, whether involving the sale of a company, an acquisition, or a merger. This has resulted in a loyal and solid customer base.

We take pride in our extensive network of entrepreneurs, (informal) investors, private equity firms, banks, and field-related specialists.

M&A Stages

1

Exit readiness analyses

Firstly, we begin with an assessment of company performance, identifying its strengths and weaknesses. Based on this analysis, we strengthen and optimise the opportunity, determine investor readiness for the upcoming financing round, and identify how to enhance the company’s strengths and address its weaknesses within the business plan.
2

Business plan development

Secondly, we begin developing the business plan, also referred to as the information memorandum. Using the input gathered and the analysis conducted, we prepare an attractive business plan, financial strategy, and strategic development plan to maximise the chances of securing a successful equity deal.
3

Investor matching

Thirdly, we leverage our network of investors, using the information memorandum to understand your company’s investment needs. We identify and contact the right investors based on segment, geography, and investment focus, increasing the likelihood of securing a first meeting with potential investors.
4

Due diligence support

The next stage is due diligence support. We set up a data room and assist you in populating it with the necessary documents. Our support ensures you maximise the chances of reaching the term sheet phase and successfully finalising terms with the selected investors.
5

Negotiation and deal structuring

In this stage, we assist in negotiating the terms and structure of the deal. Our expertise ensures the terms are favourable and aligned with your objectives. We collaborate closely with legal and tax advisors to draft and finalise the necessary agreements, aiming to mitigate risks and maximise value.
6

Closing the deal

The final stage involves closing the deal. We ensure all conditions are met and the transaction is executed seamlessly. Our team coordinates with all parties involved to facilitate a smooth transition, with post-deal integration and communication plans in place to support ongoing success.
7

Post-transaction support

After the deal is closed, we continue to provide support to ensure a smooth transition. This includes integration planning, performance monitoring, and strategic advice to help your company achieve its long-term objectives. Our ongoing assistance ensures the full value of the transaction is realised.
