JM Corporate Finance

What JM Corporate Finance does

JM Corporate Finance B.V. (operating as JM Partners) is an independent Dutch corporate finance advisory firm headquartered in Breda, with additional offices in Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Farnham (United Kingdom). Founded around 2009 and led by Partners/Founder Jan van Wijngaarden and Partner Bart Koreman, the firm specializes in business transfers (bedrijfsoverdrachten), mergers and acquisitions, company valuations, due diligence, and corporate restructuring. Its client base spans Dutch SMBs (MKB+) through large enterprises, with deal experience covering national and international transactions across multiple industries.

The firm operates an integrated advisory platform spanning 15 service lines that cover the full M&A lifecycle: pre-transaction preparation (Verkoopklaar maken, Groeibegeleiding, Strategische heroriëntatie), transaction execution (Bedrijf verkopen, Bedrijfsovername, Management buy-out/buy-in, Due diligence), and post-transaction and special situations (Bedrijfsfinanciering, family succession, post-merger integration, corporate recovery, international restructuring, negotiation/mediation). Underlying technology is modest: two digital self-service tools — a Waardecalculator that produces indicative valuations within 24 hours and an interactive Due diligence checklist — function primarily as top-of-funnel lead-generation rather than differentiated technology. The IAPA international network membership supports cross-border mandate execution.

Revenue is generated on a project-based, quote-based professional services model with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers; engagements are typically multi-year contracts scoped to each transaction. The go-to-market relies on direct advisory relationships supported by partner referrals (notably accounting and advisory firms), the firm's website and content marketing, LinkedIn presence, and the Alumniclub JM CF alumni/ambassador program. The firm is privately held with no institutional investor involvement and reports no parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity of its own.

Regional players

• KBS Corporate Finance: UK-based M&A advisory firm specializing in SME business transfers, headquartered in Farnham (same city as JM's UK office). Comparable business model and SME transaction focus, though primarily serving the UK market rather than the Netherlands.

Direct peers

• IMAP: International M&A advisory network with active Dutch coverage. Competes with JM on mid-market cross-border and domestic transactions, leveraging a global partner network for deal sourcing similar to JM's IAPA affiliation.
• Clearwater International: European mid-market M&A advisor with a Benelux team. Comparable to JM in target segment (SME and mid-market), transaction size range, and service scope including valuation and due diligence.
• Oaklins: Global mid-market M&A advisory with a strong Netherlands presence. Directly competes with JM on Dutch SME and mid-market sell-side and buy-side mandates, offering similar valuation, due diligence, and transaction execution services.
• Marktlink: Dutch M&A advisory firm focused on mid-market transactions, particularly SME business transfers. Directly competes with JM Corporate Finance in the Dutch MKB segment with a similar partner-led model and full-service transaction offering.

Broad incumbents

• Lincoln International: Global mid-market investment bank with European presence. Overlaps with JM on Dutch mid-market M&A, though typically operating at the larger end of the mid-market segment with broader sector coverage.
• EY-Parthenon (Netherlands): Strategy and transactions arm of EY in the Netherlands. Competes with JM on mid-market M&A advisory, due diligence, and valuation mandates, particularly for transactions where Big 4 execution credibility is valued by clients.
• Duff & Phelps (Kroll): Global valuation, M&A, and restructuring advisory firm. Overlaps with JM on Dutch valuation/second-opinion, due diligence, and corporate recovery mandates, though operating across much larger and more diversified client base.
• KPMG Deal Advisory (Netherlands): Big 4 deal advisory practice in the Netherlands. Competes with JM on larger mid-market transactions, due diligence, and corporate finance mandates; offers broader service portfolio but with less personalized SME focus.

Others

• International M&A Partners (IAPA): International accounting and advisory network of which JM is a member via its Farnham office. Functions as a peer and partner relationship: IAPA member firms collaborate on cross-border deals and referrals, making it both a competitive adjacency and a distribution channel for JM.
