Your trusted business advisor for strategic guidance and growth

An RSM business advisor is more than just a critical discussion partner. We are your sparring partner for important decisions about your enterprise's future. Whether it involves growth, financing, restructuring or business succession: we think alongside you and help you chart your course.

RSM as your experienced business advisor

At RSM, engagement is central to everything we do. We understand the challenges facing SMEs, owner-managers, family businesses and mid-market enterprises, and we connect you quickly with the right specialists within our national and international network.

With our broad expertise, we ensure your tax and organisational affairs are optimally arranged and guide you through complex decision-making processes. Additionally, we stimulate growth by contributing innovative ideas and opportunities for optimisation.

RSM is here for owner-managers, mid-market companies, large SMEs and family businesses. We connect, listen, advise and support you in making strategic choices that elevate your business to the next level.

How can RSM help you?

As an entrepreneur, you face diverse challenges. You wonder whether you're making the right choices, looking ahead sufficiently and making optimal use of opportunities. Below are some situations where our advisors can support you:

Financial advice

We think proactively alongside you about efficient processes, strategic growth and sustainable business operations.

Tailored solutions for entrepreneurs

SME advice

Within RSM Accountancy and Business Advisory, you'll find your trusted adviser for SMEs. As generalists, we have extensive knowledge of SME facets and can quickly connect you with the right specialists. As adviser and trusted partner, we offer a critical perspective on your enterprise and support you across diverse areas:

Family business advice

Leading a family business often differs from regular enterprises. Beyond financial aspects, there's an additional challenge: succession and business transfer. Thanks to RSM's personal approach, you work with a dedicated team of experts who get to know you and your family thoroughly. Your trusted adviser stays well-informed and can therefore provide you with the best advice. Additionally, we understand the (emotional) connections that play a role in managing a family business.

RSM is the expert in tax advisory and guidance for family businesses. Our focus on family businesses makes us a distinctive partner.

Financing advice

Obtaining or restructuring financing is often complex and time-consuming. RSM helps you optimise your current financing and apply for new financing – quickly, expertly and independently.

Our approach
We guide you through the entire process: from determining financing needs to the final application. We discuss matters including:

Scale and purpose of financing (working capital, investments, sustainability)
Alternative financing forms (such as crowdfunding, private equity)
Interest conditions, term and securities
Choice of financing form (mortgage, lease, factoring, etc.)

Required information
For a successful application, we compile a complete financing dossier together, including:

Company profile and distinctive capabilities
Industry information and market prospects
Investment budget and (cash flow) forecast
Annual accounts and interim figures
Analysis of financing options and recommendations

Why RSM?
We are your sparring partner in discussions with financiers and ensure an efficient and professional process.

Acquisition and transaction advice for SMEs

Are you considering a merger, acquisition or sale of your business as an SME entrepreneur? Such important transactions bring many tax and financial challenges, and it's essential to have a clear picture of all possible consequences of such a transaction.

RSM's experienced advisers are pleased to guide you through all steps of the transaction process. Whether you plan to sell your business, acquire a new company, or realise a merger or joint venture.

With our in-depth knowledge and experience in the SME sector, we ensure you make the right decisions and achieve your goals. We remain by your side, stay your primary contact and support you together with our colleagues from Business Valuations, Due Diligence and Corporate Finance.

Business valuation

Bij situaties als overnames, herstructureringen of echtscheidingen is een betrouwbare waardering van uw bedrijf essentieel. RSM levert maatwerk en stelt de waarde van uw onderneming vast op basis van marktpositie en specifieke waardestuwers.

Due Diligence

A due diligence investigation provides insight into the financial situation of the business to be bought or sold. This prevents surprises and establishes a solid foundation for a successful deal.

Corporate Finance

We support you in buying, selling or merging your enterprise. Thanks to our expertise and our (inter)national network, we realise favourable transactions in the mid-market segment.
