A good deal is quiet work.
Noordas guides founders and family businesses through sales, acquisitions and valuations in the €5–50m mid-market. Small team, partner-only staffing, and advice you can hold us to.
Four services. Done completely, or not at all.
No leasing desk, no tax practice, no fifty-page brochure. The work below is what we are demonstrably good at — everything else we refer out.
Sell-side M&A
Preparing a company for sale and running the process end-to-end: positioning, buyer landscape, negotiation — while you keep running the business. Most engagements start a year before we go to market.
Acquisitions & MBO
Search, valuation and structuring for strategic buyers and management teams. We say "walk away" more often than any adviser you have met — that is what the retainer is for.
Valuations & fairness opinions
Business valuations for shareholder exits, disputes and succession — built on defensible assumptions and documented so a judge can follow every step.
Debt & capital advisory
Refinancing, acquisition finance and covenant repair. We run the bank process, model the scenarios and sit on your side of the table — so you never negotiate against professionals alone.
The numbers we are prepared to be judged on.
Valuation, deal readiness, and the honest list of what will scare a buyer. You decide whether to proceed after this — many don’t, yet.
deliverable: valuation memoInformation memorandum, dataroom, normalised figures — and fixing what can still be fixed before anyone looks.
deliverable: IM + dataroomA shortlist approached quietly, one conversation at a time. No teasers blasted to four hundred inboxes.
deliverable: offers on the tableNegotiation, due-diligence management, SPA — and signing at the notary with no surprises left in the drawer.
deliverable: a completed dealThree partners. No juniors on your deal.
Every mandate is staffed by the people whose names are on the door. The partner you meet in week one is the one who answers the phone in week nineteen.

Start with an hour.
The first conversation is free, under NDA if you prefer, and useful even if it goes nowhere — you leave knowing roughly what your company is worth and what would make it worth more.
