Within this network we cooperate with (amongst others) lawyers, tax and wealth planners.

Clients
White Forest is proud of its impressive track record of our team members. The focus is on large family owned businesses in the Netherlands, but we also have leading private equity firms, healthcare and not-for-profit organizations in our solid customer base. In debt financing we focus primarily on transactions between 10 to 500 million Euros. For young, fast growing companies, we are able to arrange smaller funding amounts of risk-bearing capital with equal dedication. As a result of our strategic focus, we are personal trusted advisors to entrepreneurs, investors, CEOs, CFOs en non-executive boards.
Team & Experience
White Forest is a flexible network organization with a committed core team composed of independent and highly experienced consultants with broad expertise in bank financing and alternative forms of capital. Together during the last 10 years we have completed more than 100 successful advisory projects and transactions with a combined value of several billion Euros for very prestigious clients. For all our advisers, thorough understanding of the client and building mutually satisfying long-term relationships is the key focus.
Method
We start with listening to our client and identifying the true objectives of the organization. What we believe is that a sound strategic financing strategy helps organizations achieve their goals faster and to distinguish themselves even more from their competition.
For example, by growing faster, by becoming less sensitive to cyclical fluctuations, by more effectively internationalization or by taking more advantage of an optimal financial supply chain.
We help organizations achieve an optimal capital structure, finding appropriate (non-) bank financing and/or optimize banking relationships.
And all that from a long-term win-win relationship based on trust and transparency.
In practice this means that we are honest about the feasibility of financing structures and sometimes advise to not arrange a new financing or to follow a less risky strategy. This perhaps lead, in the short term, to fewer transactions, but in the long term we believe that the confidence of our clients is more sustainable.
OUR VALUE
OUR MOTIVATION
What drives our entire team is the satisfaction we experience by gaining the confidence of our clients and helping them achieve their goals. A good funding strategy is essential to this.
Originally, we started working in the financial sector, because of the vast complexity and challenging environment. After we gained a thorough understanding of this particular sector, we noticed that many of the opportunities it offers mainly stayed within the sector itself and were not always passed on to its companies.
White Forest has taken on the objective to give insights into the complex financial world as simple and transparent as possible to its clients. Thereby helping them to secure the future of their business and achieve their goals faster.
In return, we gain the confidence to be able to assist our customers again and again.
That is what drives us every day.
