Sectors

Consumer & Retail

In a sector where experience, customer loyalty, and brand positioning make all the difference, timing is everything. Consumers move fast, and the market moves even faster. And then suddenly the moment arrives when you take stock: grow further, scale up, or sell? 

Rembrandt M&A helps you navigate these difficult strategic choices. With experience in hospitality, e-commerce, franchise, and retail, we know how to strengthen your position, reduce risks, and stay on course towards a successful transfer. 

TRANSLATING VALUE INTO A SUCCESSFUL DEAL

This sector is demanding and changing at lightning speed. Margins are under pressure, customer expectations continue to rise, and investors are looking for scalable models; with a firm grip on data, processes, and customer relationships. At the same time, your organization's value often lies in a complex mix of brand, locations, contract structures, and teams. 

But how do you safeguard that value for the future? 

We help you determine what is truly transferable and how to make it visible to buyers. In doing so, we look beyond the numbers. How does the organization continue to operate without the founder or the core team? What do investors expect? And how do you translate your competitive edge into a proposition that convinces under the bonnet as well? 

Whatever stage you're in, it requires insight, preparation, and the right partner at the table with knowledge of your market. 

Rembrandt M&A guides organizations through all stages of growth and transfer. Sometimes because the next growth phase requires external capital. Sometimes because an international buyer or investor comes knocking — and often because it's time to get a grip on value, structure, and timing. 

 Track record in e-commerce, franchise organizations, and leisure, among others  
 Experience with brand valuations and new business models  
✔ 25+ years of experience in selling retail formats, such as DIY stores, garden centers, and supermarkets
