About us
Lindenaar & Co was founded in 2005 by Paul Lindenaar as an alternative to the corporate finance departments of banks and accountancy firms. We have now grown to a leading independent corporate finance boutique in the Netherlands, with an extensive track record of national and cross-border transactions.
We predominantly advise entrepreneurs, family-owned business and private equity firms, as well as other stakeholders, such as works councils, on mergers, acquisitions and debt financing.
We pay above average attention and excessive time to define our clients’ actual wishes. Our decisive team of in-house trained professionals strives to exceed clients’ expectations every time in an informal, committed and constructive manner.
Through our focus on long-term relationships in combination with our pro-active market approach, Lindenaar & Co expects to continue to grow in the coming years.
