Claassen, Moolenbeek & Partners - Probin Telder

Description

Pieter Bram Woltjer, Probin Telder:

"I have a business to run; then it's nice when a specialist relieves you"

As an entrepreneur you are busy with daily operations and want to keep your focus on your core business. Meanwhile, you do have the necessary ambitions and want to grow through business acquisitions. How do you go about that?

Pieter Bram Woltjer is director at Probin Telder and, with four branches in the central Netherlands, a supplier to businesses in construction and industry. His growth ambition: to double the number of branches. Recently the first achievement is heard: Probin acquired technical trading company de Lastoorts with stores in Bolsward and Leeuwarden.

Expertise
Woltjer engaged Ferdinand Zomerman, partner at Claassen, Moolenbeek & Partners in Lelystad, for the business acquisition. Woltjer: "I am well versed in business economics, but I have a company to run. Then it is nice when a financial specialist with knowledge of business relieves you. Ferdinand is such a person."

Enthusiastic, but calm
Woltjer conducted the initial discussions with the Lastoorts alone. "When the negotiation phase with financial substantiation came up, I brought Ferdinand along. That worked strategically decisively. He is enthusiastic, but also calm and discreet. I recommend him to any entrepreneur with larger growth ambitions."

Conscious to the top
Ferdinand Zomerman is a registered business succession adviser and assists entrepreneurs in SMEs with business acquisitions and realizing business financing.
