Amsterdam, May 2002   LG10 assisted a successful Dutch entrepreneur who saw opportunities to expand his company by acquiring several smaller businesses in dispersed geographic areas and integrating them. LG10 proposed an alternative plan to direct acquisition that extends reach while preserving capital.

LG10 detailed a business plan and corporate structure for the entrepreneur, based on a holding company with majority stakes in 5 related businesses across the Netherlands. LG10 developed a clear consolidation concept, outlining the potential return by indicating complementary take-over candidates and the improvement in costs and turnover after integration. LG10 completed the engagement by providing a roadmap for funding the strategy through identification of appropriate investors.

The operational track record of the entrepreneur, combined with the competencies and networks of LG10, made it possible to access larger pools of capital than through reliance on internal accrual.
