Are you sure your business is worth as much as you think?

Good valuation by expert saves a lot of money

If you want to sell a business, you first need to know exactly how much the business is actually worth. As an experienced merger & acquisition advisor, I'll make sure you know what your business is worth so you can receive the highest possible price later.

That's why you choose professional guidance

Valuing your business is critical to one of the most important transactions in your life. I help you with this with knowledge, experience and personal and professional guidance. With the goal of receiving the maximum price for your business. Together with a personal network of lawyers, accountants and tax advisors, I determine the value of your business quickly and accurately.

Win/win situation

In a negotiation process, assuming a win/win situation is often a good key to success. It helps that as an outsider I can look at the situation objectively and anticipate without prejudice. This keeps the valuation and the sale free of emotions.

Proven experience in valuation

As a chartered accountant and business economist, I have more than 15 years of relevant experience in the world of mergers and acquisitions. I have worked for, among others, KPMG Corporate Finance and Deloitte where I supervised acquisitions from A to Z at home and abroad, including valuations and due diligence. I also worked for the boards of both Pinkroccade and Aercap for whom I supervised various international transactions.

In addition, I have been active in the City of London as a commodity broker. Since 2000, as an independent entrepreneur, I have been assisting fellow entrepreneurs in selling their businesses. I know what entrepreneurship is and what entrepreneurs want. That makes me the ideal confidant to bring the deal of a lifetime to a successful conclusion.

I look forward to our meeting.

Who is Eelco?

Getting people to do what they are made for. So that you do what you are meant to do. That's what drives me. In fact, I've been doing that for as long as I can remember. Having experienced many high peaks and deep valleys myself, both personally and professionally.

More than 20 years ago I started in the due diligence practice at Deloitte, then as a Corporate Acquisition Consultant at KPMG Corporate Finance. I have been self-employed since 2000: via a detour as a commodity broker in London and a period in Mexico, since 2004 I have been a professional Business Coach for entrepreneurs and executives, who want to get the most out of themselves.

As an entrepreneur or executive, business and personal are not separable. As an entrepreneur, husband and father myself, I know all about that. That's why you can spar with me about business challenges and relevant private matters. Because that's who I am: a sounding board, strategist and confidant all in one.

In the meantime, I have coached hundreds of entrepreneurs and executives in more than a thousand conversations, which has helped them achieve the results you probably have in mind.

In addition to my work as a Business Coach, for more than 20 years I have been assisting entrepreneurs as a Business Acquisition Advisor with selling their business.

I am a certified NLP Practitioner, a member of the Dutch Association of Professional Coaches (NOBCO) and also of the International Coach Federation (ICF).

BUSINESS COACH

Head in the sand and continue to plod on alone

1. You are not in your natural flow
You are stuck and not getting the most out of your life. While you want so much to be yourself and live according to your personal values.

2. You stand alone and keep going in circles
You are surrounded by yes-men. You miss a sparring partner who speaks your language. Someone who mirrors you, and helps you cut through knots.

3. You are out of balance
You lack focus, sleep poorly and often feel restless. While you actually know that your personal happiness and business success go hand in hand.
