Acquisition and financing under severe time pressure? Gandacars did it with the help of Buttonwood.
More about this achievement
The challenge
Combining financing and acquisition required decisions that were both fast and right:
How do you find the optimal financing structure in a very limited timeframe — while also structuring a valuation and deal that will serve the business in the long run?
Buttonwood’s approach
From day one, Buttonwood brought structure, expertise, and speed to the process:
-
rapid analysis of all financing options, both traditional and alternative;
-
expert advice and guidance to support the best choice;
-
preparation of acquisition proposals and tailored valuation;
-
full support in drafting and finalizing all contracts.
The result
Thanks to Buttonwood, Gandacars was able to successfully close the desired acquisition and secure the necessary financing on time. The greatest concerns were taken off their shoulders, resulting in a well-supported and positive outcome.
“Buttonwood felt like a colleague rather than an external advisor from day one. They know their craft and our industry inside and out, which allowed them to provide fast and targeted advice at every step. Without them, this process would never have gone so smoothly.”

From management buyout to 100% shareholder: successful guidance by Buttonwood
For this entrepreneur, the challenge was clear: how do you buy yourself out to 100% shareholder without risking your private assets? A hefty valuation and financing question threatened to block the process.
The challenge
The management buyout (MBO) raised one central question: how do you finance the acquisition of shares in a way that remains both feasible and acceptable?
The approach of Buttonwood
Buttonwood set up a clear structure for the valuation and financing of the company:
- realistic valuation of the shares;
- Preparation of a financial planning for bank financing;
- Guidance during discussions with external parties;
- legally correct and practical elaboration of the dossier.
The result
The entrepreneur got exactly what he was going for: 100% of the shares, with feasible financing and without security on private assets.
“It was a very pleasant and smooth cooperation. Nice to have direct contact with the people who effectively work out the file.”
