Guiding entrepreneurs toward new perspectives
Fusiq has just one goal!
Create new perspectives for you and your business through a successful transfer or acquisition.
We aim to excel at every step of the process. That’s how we make a difference!

At Fusiq, our experience and passion come together:

- Thinking in solutions and opportunities
We are two seasoned and driven professionals, each with over 25 years of experience leading businesses across various industries and countries, for family-owned companies, investment funds, and publicly traded enterprises.
Mergers and acquisitions have been a constant thread throughout our careers. We have actively led successful acquisitions, buy & build operations, and transfers in the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Italy. Through these experiences, we have seen firsthand how acquisitions do not always achieve the intended results.
In addition, we bring valuable knowledge and experience from the M&A advisory practice, having guided more than 25 companies in business sales and acquisitions.
