Van Oers Corporate Finance

What Van Oers Corporate Finance does

Van Oers Corporate Finance B.V. is a Dutch M&A advisory firm headquartered in Breda, Netherlands, founded in 1998 as the corporate finance division of Van Oers Groep N.V., a multidisciplinary professional services holding group. The firm provides buy-side and sell-side advisory for business acquisitions and sales, business valuations, financing advisory, corporate restructuring, and due diligence services, with a documented differentiator of integrating financial due diligence with sustainability (ESG/CSRD) assessment. Its client base is concentrated in Dutch SMEs, family businesses, and mid-market companies, with notable engagements across agribusiness, food, construction, manufacturing, and strategic communications, including transactions such as the Brefu Funderingstechnieken sale to Van 't Hek Groep and Dovi Group's acquisition of Frezoli Lighting.

The firm operates with approximately 23 employees within the corporate finance division (part of a larger group of hundreds across accountancy, audit, tax, legal, HR, IT audit, and digital solutions), led by named partners including Alexander den Boer, Joost Akkermans, and Directeur Corporate Finance Bert Bastiaansen. Technology infrastructure includes an ISO 27001-certified information security management system (certified since January 2020), a digital customer portal for document exchange, and integrations with standard CRM/ERP, fiscal, and payroll software providers.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, retainers, and success fees tied to transaction completion, with custom pricing tied to deal value, complexity, and scope. The go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise field sales, supplemented by thought leadership content via the 'Niet over één nacht ijs' podcast, a knowledge bank, newsletters, and industry events. Strategic partnerships with Green by Blue (CSRD sustainability advisory), Ekco (NIS2 cybersecurity audits), and Samen Digitaal Veilig extend the firm's service surface beyond traditional M&A into emerging regulatory advisory verticals.
