When looking for investment opportunities, NoorderHuys meets companies seeking fresh capital. After a quick survey however we as NoorderHuys often conclude that the company first and for all is in need of good advice. After having acted as consultant on an adhoc basis in several instances NoorderHuys has decided to start its consultancy practice.
This may include matters like the business model, the corporate strategy or the finance structure of the company. It could well be that the company is not in need of a capital injection but can do with changes in its finance arrangements with the bank. Flaws in the internal organisation or lack of adequate management information can result in a bad performance of the company. NoorderHuys, experienced by years of hands-on management within its companies, can help the entrepreneur to solve these problems.
Strategic advice may cover questions like: Do I want to expand quickly? And if so: By means of a take-over or autonomously by investing in my own company?

A take-over in cash or in equity, issue of new shares? NoorderHuys may also be of assistance in the execution of such a transaction. Restructuring of debt financing is one of the expertises of NoorderHuys, too.
Last but not least: many entrepreneurs struggle with the item: When and how am I going to realise the transfer of the company to the next generation of shareholders. This no doubt is one of the core competences of NoorderHuys.
