HUNT
EST. 2017
AMS.

A company is usually sold only once. That calls for a careful process—one guided by people who understand not only the numbers and the contracts, but also the entrepreneur behind the business.

Founder Arjen Paardekooper has 15 years of experience as an M&A lawyer and has founded and successfully sold four companies. This gives him a unique understanding of what really matters during a business transfer, and how crucial it is to sell at the right moment, to the right party, and under the right terms.

What sets HUNT apart is the combination of legal and strategic expertise with real entrepreneurship. No standard templates, but a personal approach that fits like a tailored suit. We are more than advisors: we are confidants, sparring partners, and dealmakers.

German Desk

Germany is one of the Netherlands’ most important trading partners — and a market where HUNT feels at home. We understand the landscape, the culture, and operate from a strong local network built on long-standing relationships.

In 2022, HUNT further strengthened its presence by opening an office in Munich.

The foundation for this focus was laid by Arjen Paardekooper. He studied at Ruprecht Karls University in Heidelberg and gained experience at the Düsseldorf office of a top-three law firm in Germany. During this time, he developed in-depth knowledge of the German market, built an extensive network, and acquired a strong understanding of the German way of doing business.

HUNT has extensive experience advising on acquisitions and divestments in Germany. With fluent German-speaking expertise and a dedicated team of local professionals, HUNT is the partner for Dutch entrepreneurs looking to expand into Germany — whether through buying or selling a company, or finding the right partner or investor.

Hunt Dealmakers: specialized in business transfers

Fast and focused toward the right deal

HUNT Dealmakers supports owner-managers in business transfers: from acquisitions and buy-ins or buy-outs to valuations, purchases, and financing—both in the Netherlands and abroad.

We take care of the entire process. We find the right buyer or investor, determine the company’s value, arrange financing, and lead the negotiations — all the way through to closing the deal.

The key to a successful sale

A successful business transfer requires three things: a seller with the right motivation, a buyer with capital and good intentions, and an advisor who manages everything. That advisor is us. Straightforward, effective, and without fuss.
