Your strategic sparring partner with an investor mindset
With Beyers Advisory, I bring together my years of experience as CEO, investor and M&A advisor to guide entrepreneurs, CEO’s and investors in their strategic-financial decisions and growth plans. Sometimes for a short-term project, but mainly as a long-term trusted advisor on Strategy, Finance and People.
My goal is to maximize your Shareholder Value Potential
My mission is very clear: to guide my clients in making the right decisions and steps in order to realize their shareholder value full potential, while carefully considering the critical factors of market circumstances, risk-return and personal timing.
Services designed to drive your business towards optimal shareholder value
Lonely at the top and in need for a sounding board? Usually stable companies ask me to challenge them, discuss future plans or review growth options, but there are also more stormy situations where the viability of the business is at stake and I try to bring the business back into calm waters by creating a short & long term recovery plan involving all stakeholders. Sometimes as an advisor to the entrepreneur, CEO or board, sometimes by joining the Board of Directors or Advisory Board but always as a long-term trusted advisor.
Support & Advice
to entrepreneurs, CEO’s and Boards
Strategy Building,
Business Plan & Funding
Developing and refining your business strategy is at the heart of what I do. I specialize in helping you to bring structure and chart a strategic course for your business' future in order to optimise shareholder value. My approach combines analytical & strategic thinking, market insights and financial expertise to create a comprehensive Business Plan. P&L, Cash-flow and Balance Sheet projections are developed in order to find you the appropriate debt and/or equity funding.
Growing your business
via Buy&Build
Are you an entrepreneur or investor considering a Buy&Build strategy, but you miss time and experience to assess and execute this? A well-executed Buy&Build is all about choosing the right start platform and strategic add-on’s, integrating these and realising the synergies… 20 years of successful Buy&Build execution have turned me into a highly experienced co-pilot ready to help you make the right choices.
Selling your business,
but well-prepared
As an investor I have frequently noticed that sellers did not take the time to make their company ‘exit-optimal’ allowing buyers to capture low-hanging-fruit easily … Hence, the process of Exit Readiness should commence well before the so called six-month mark and should be viewed as a fundamental hygiene practice that every well-established business should have in place. All dimensions of Exit Readiness (strategy, finance & reporting, customer & supplier relationships, organisation, legal matters, operational efficiency, …) are reviewed to ensure that your business is well prepared for a truly successful exit.
My experience across various industries, company types and roles has shaped me into a strategic sparring partner with an investor mindset.

“Together with Tom as CEO we have successfully executed a Buy&Build in technical wholesale distribution. Starting off with a relatively small but solid platform, and acquiring and integrating more than 15 strategic add-ons, we have built a strong European market leader. Tom has been instrumental in all dimensions of this Buy&Build, from strategizing, sourcing, due diligence, deal making to integration and leadership. To entrepreneurs and investors considering a Buy&Build opportunity, I highly recommend taking him on board."
Bert V.L. – Founder SecureLink and Managing Partner InvestLink
“A friend, an advisor, a business partner. As an entrepreneur and co-founder of a well-developed IT cybersecurity company, a lot of investors were charmed by our business and track-record. One day, an offer to buy our company initiated by a competitor seemed rather promising which made me consult Tom as he was one of my friends. Not only Tom learned me the offer was rather poor, Tom also introduced me with a very interesting investment partner, a path I hadn’t considered until then. In 3 months we made a deal in which Tom himself participated, whilst we as founders could further expand the company. Meanwhile we managed to sell the company in 2 steps which made me become an investor myself. Tom is now a partner in different investments. His analytical skills in combination with his hands-on experience are key in our collaboration."
