Company history/background
The company focuses on:
- Buy-and-build strategy: Merging and expanding staffing firms.
- Scaling up: Realizing the next major staffing platform in the Dutch market.
- Exit multiple: Due to scaling up and process improvement, the aim is to realize an exit with the entire group in 2030–2031, where the sales multiple is substantially higher than the purchase multiple.
- Continuity: Sellers remain involved after the acquisition as Chief Operating Officer and co-investor. This ensures continuity, aligns interests, and reduces integration risk.
