PRESS RELEASE
Hoofddorp, October 2024 – Sophista mergers and acquisitions, an experienced player in the field of mergers, acquisitions and business succession, is expanding with a second office in Hoofddorp. Sophista advises both family businesses and international companies on strategic acquisition and succession issues. Characteristic is the total relief and guidance of the process, every process is different and requires a specific approach. The independent expert approach has already proven successful in other regions.
The branch in Hoofddorp offers new opportunities to support entrepreneurs in the bustling Haarlemmermeer region. “The economic dynamics in this region are growing rapidly, and we see many opportunities here to use our expertise,” says Pieter van den Berg, founder of Sophista. “Remarkably, Haarlemmermeer lacks a specialized corporate finance firm that focuses specifically on the family business and combines that with international experience. We fill that gap and see a need among entrepreneurs in the region for the specialty of an acquisition advisor separate from other financial advisors.”
A second branch, in addition to the existing branch in Alkmaar, will make it easier for companies in the Haarlemmermeer region to access high-quality guidance and advice.
