The growth in the number of transactions is primarily driven by aging demographics and the increased turnover rate of businesses. A key factor in this market is the growing role of investment firms, which have a structural impact on the acquisition landscape.<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_stretch=&#8221;stretch-row&#8221; margin_bottom=&#8221;&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;dark-blue&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1589180223727{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;8\/12&#8243; margin_top=&#8221;80&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;80&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1589182062085{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643820512384{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221; margin_top=&#8221;40&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;40&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how VADO helps you sell your business<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When selling a business, an investment company usually looks at two aspects: growth potential and the competence of the incumbent management. But during the process of selling a business, the connection and trust between both parties are at least as important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If both partners share the same vision and values, the chances that selling the business is successful in the long run are much higher. At VADO we understand this all too well. Only when both parties have a good feeling about the transfer of the business, we take the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of our company history, we have a natural connection with the (manufacturing) industry and technology. We love technical companies and understand the responsibility you have as a company for employees, suppliers and customers. We invest sustainably for long-term results; we do not go purely for short-term profits. Based on our investment philosophy, we look at how a company can continue to grow in the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vado.nl\/en\/working-approach\/long-term-investor\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> long term<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a healthy, solid way. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row margin_top=&#8221;80&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;80&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1589179850711{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;8\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several scenarios can be discussed<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the possible acquisition, we take ample time to get to know each other and to examine the extent to which we fit together. Every scenario is negotiable, because every company takeover is unique. We carefully examine how the new company fits within the VADO portfolio. Hereby we go through appropriate steps to ensure that all parties involved are satisfied when it comes to selling the business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A successful business sale starts with cooperation\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some takeover candidates are well suited to grow healthily as a stand-alone company. A successful example of this approach is <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vado.nl\/en\/companies\/contour-advanced-systems\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Contour Advanced Systems<\/a>. Contour AS is an innovative system integrator and produces mechatronic modules and systems. The company is active in the market segments Energy, Data centers, Defence and Intralogistics. In order to offer its customers new innovations, it works closely with other companies. As a system integrator, Contour AS is ideally qualified to link and integrate all kinds of technologies.\u00a0 Another great example is <a href=\"https:\/\/vado.nl\/en\/companies\/verhoeven\/\">Verhoeven<\/a>, specialist in complex product handling and transport systems. The combination of a strong customer focus and great innovative power has enabled Verhoeven to develop from an all-round machine builder into a global provider of total solutions in various specialist segments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other companies are better suited to form a stronger entity in a partnership with one or more of the VADO companies. So that together they form a valuable partner for their customers. An example within our own portfolio of such a buy-and-build strategy is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vado.nl\/en\/companies\/anvil-industries\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anvil Industries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a strong partnership in machining operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selling your business?
