OUR VISION

Entrepreneurship means
taking
responsibility.

Every entrepreneur faces challenges. Sometimes the next step calls for fresh energy, a new direction or a new owner. We look at the potential and what it takes to move forward.

Finch Invest is led by Perry Schoots. We have been running businesses since 1994, with our sleeves rolled up. That experience is reflected in several healthy, profitable portfolio companies. We use it to understand challenges, make decisions and help new portfolio companies move forward.

We take on major challenges too. From succession, financing and falling demand to illness, changing legislation or supply chain bottlenecks. Sometimes, after years of hard work, an entrepreneur needs renewed energy. Where we see potential, we are prepared to take responsibility and find a way forward together.

We work extensively with AI to deepen our insights and run businesses more effectively. But we are not a private equity firm that manages businesses through spreadsheets alone. We get our boots muddy ourselves: alongside the entrepreneur, on their behalf or in their place, leading from the front or supporting from behind. We are happy to take whichever role is needed, always with our team of specialists. We tackle challenges and work hard to put solutions into practice.

ACQUISITION FOCUS

Challenges today.
Potential for tomorrow.

We welcome conversations with entrepreneurs facing challenges and looking for the next step for their business.

Every situation has its own story. We want to understand what is happening, what the business needs and how our experience can help, even when the challenges are substantial.

How we approach an acquisition
01

Potential within the business

A product, customer base, expertise or market position that provides a foundation for a healthy future.

02

Challenges that call for a next step

Succession, financial pressures, strategy, legislation, staffing, falling demand, illness, financing, supply chains or declining entrepreneurial energy. We consider how these connect and what is needed to move forward.

03

Room to take responsibility

An entrepreneur seeking succession, a way out of a difficult situation or a new direction, with room to work together on the changes needed.

04

A practical way forward

An honest assessment of the challenges, the recovery needed and the opportunities to build a healthy business again.

OUR APPROACH

Understand first.
Then take action.

Open about the situation.
Clear about what needs to happen.

01

Get in touch

We discuss your business, the challenges you face and what you want for its future.

02

Assessing challenges and potential

We assess the challenges, the strengths of the business and the options for its next step.

03

Agreements and due diligence

We test the recovery plan, conduct due diligence and agree clear acquisition terms.

04

Acquiring and taking action

We take responsibility, set priorities and put the recovery and development plan into action.
