Financing applications
As a (starting) entrepreneur you have a plan, but money is needed to realize this plan. The world around obtaining financing has completely changed in recent years and we can imagine that you can no longer see the forest for the trees. We have a large network of various financiers, such as banks, crowdfunding, real estate financiers, lease and factoring companies, and private investors. Our advisors are happy to show you which forms of financing there are and assist you in the negotiations with the financiers. Our experience has taught us that there is a lot to be gained if you research all options and you are well prepared when you start arranging the financing of your company.
We are happy to help you in that search. By getting the right financiers to the table, we can contribute to the realization of your plans. In some situations, one financier is the best party for you; in some situations, it is better to involve several financiers in your plan. In any case, obtaining financing requires a well-developed plan with well-substantiated profitability and liquidity forecasts. We are happy to support you in drawing up these plans so that financiers have the correct information more quickly.

Option for restructuring
When you have taken out a one-off loan, it often requires a critical look over time. It must be considered whether or not an adjustment is necessary to that concluded financing. Financing agreements are often made for the medium to long term, but certainly, in the present time, circumstances change very quickly. For example, if the market structure has changed or developments have taken place within your company, this may require restructuring. We are happy to help you determine which structure suits your company best.
We would like to give you an explanation of the various financiers:
Banks
These are the most well-known financiers. Some banks choose not to finance real estate or certain branches, or they only finance them to a limited extent. We see that banks differ in rates and conditions. We are happy to make a comparison with you in order to arrange the best financing for you.
Real estate financiers
Partly as a result of the withdrawing movement of banks to finance real estate, we are seeing a clear rise of specialist financiers in the Netherlands. These are parties that specialize in real estate financing. We have short lines of communication with various real estate financiers and are well aware of their conditions.
Leasing companies
The lease companies are an attractive alternative to finance current assets (debtors and stocks). We regularly state that a lease solution can be found for every object that rides and rusts. The most traditional forms are financial and operational lease, but a sale-and-leaseback solution is also a form that we encounter more often.
Factoring companies
In short, the factoring companies provide the pre-financing of your debtors, a so-called advance payment. This is an ideal tool for making outstanding invoices immediately liquid. This is a good solution for fast-growing companies to have access to working capital.
Crowdfunding
This is a form of financing that is on the rise. In addition to obtaining the financing, you also gain exposure and thus create ambassadors. The power of crowdfunding is that many “small” investors feel involved with the entrepreneur and his plans when they invest. The chance of successful crowdfunding financing depends on the reliability of your plans and whether your plans appeal to the crowd.
With the retreat of the banks it is important to have a specialist by your side, I am happy to make my time to help you further and realize your plans.
