ABN AMRO : and YES Corporate Finance join forces for SMEs

ABN AMRO and YES Corporate Finance (YES CF) have forged a partnership in order to serve SMEs that require specific advice on acquisitions and business succession.

Dragi Dimitrijevic, a member of the ABN AMRO Commercial Banking management team: 'Business succession is an important issue for many SME clients. As their principal banker, we are regularly asked to assist in this matter. These clients have questions about selling the life work of an entrepreneur. Until now, ABN AMRO focused its M&A services mainly on the large corporate segment. This partnership will change things. YES CF specialises in M&A advice for SMEs. I'm happy that we can now help SMEs in this area and look forward to working with YES CF.'

ABN AMRO clients who want advice on the full or partial sale of their business can now seek help from the experienced YES CF team. This service is available to businesses valued at between EUR 5 million and EUR 25 million.

Joris van Rijn, Managing Partner of YES CF: 'The partnership with ABN AMRO links up seamlessly with our existing M&A advisory for businesses.'

Arjan Boonekamp, Managing Partner of YES CF: 'We have built up a good position in the SME segment in the past few years. Our expertise and our international network allow us to add specific value to mid-sized acquisitions. We're very excited about this partnership and look forward to serving ABN AMRO's clients.'

Companies that are interested in this service can obtain more information from their ABN AMRO relationshipmanager or at ABN AMRO's website.

Teaming up with YES CF fits in with ABN AMRO Commercial Banking's strategy to offer SMEs additional business services based on partnerships.
