VD&P aims to be the full service corporate finance advisor for family owned companies and business owners. Established in ’95, owned by its four partners, we are a team of ten CF professionals with a vast network in the Flemish economy in particular the private equity players and family offices active in Belgium. Deals we advise typically range between 2 and 25 mio €. Smaller deals are done via our subsidiary VD&P Overnamepartners. Our services differ from M&A, we work as well on the buy as on the sell side, to fund raising and advice on shareholders agreements, valuations, structuring partnerships… Sector specialisation is difficult in a small country as Belgium, we work for all sectors but we can say we have excellent introductions in food & agro, temporary work, fintech, … Main office is in Ghent but since two years VD&P started in Brussels.

1961, master economics and a postgraduate master in financial economics at the State University of Ghent (RUG). Started my career at GIMV, one of the first investment companies / venture capitalist in Belgium. In ’90 I joined the newly founded corporate finance team of Fiduciaire Moores Rowland, the then biggest accountancy group of the country, taken over by Deloitte & Touche in 1998. In 2000 I joined VD&P Corporate Finance, an independent corporate finance boutique based in Ghent. Through the years and projects done, I got a good notice of the business models of several sectors.
