Successful Management Buy-In for Sytse Monsma

Sytse is an experienced contractor with many years of experience in the construction industry and supply chain management. When he heard that the owner of Tillwood wanted to sell his company, he started to get the itch. The idea of an acquisition wouldn’t leave his mind. He decided to discuss his plans with Eijgen Finance. Through his existing connection with Franke Twerda, he got in touch with acquisition specialist Berend Westra . That turned out to be a smart move. The acquisition was no easy task; the financing, in particular, required creativity. Tillwood is a healthy, thriving company—and of course, that comes with a price tag. Berend saw in Sytse a driven entrepreneur with the right experience to carry on the business, and he set to work with full conviction.
