Bedrijventekoop.nl complies with European code of conduct
For a number of years, Bedrijventekoop.nl has been functioning as an external advisor for a working group from the European Commission with the aim of improving the functioning of acquisition platforms in Europe. The Bedrijventekoop.nl model is central to this and it is therefore the first to comply with the code of conduct as established by the European Commission.
European Code of conduct
The aim of this code of conduct is to provide acquisition platforms with (much) more insight into both the organisation that operates the database and the qualitative aspects of this database. Topicality and first-line information provision in particular are key points. Bedrijventekoop.nl complies with all these criteria and is therefore the first acquisition platform in the Netherlands that is allowed to carry the so-called "code of conduct".
A good example to follow
Because other EU countries have now become experienced with the working methods and functionalities of Bedrijventekoop.nl, discussions are now being held with several governments to set up an equivalent of this platform in these countries. With the help of such a database, these countries directly comply with the previous recommendations made by the European Commission to make the market for business transfers in SMEs more transparent.
