What we do
Eric Tak in conversation with a business owner

Good succession starts with the family, not at the notary.

Who will take over, and are they ready? What does the handover mean for your employees, the bank, suppliers, and customers? A 360° analysis maps all of this out before anything goes on paper.

From the first question to the next generation.

Why Amcot

An advisor with no stake in the outcome.

Your accountant knows the numbers and your bank knows the financing. Both are valuable, and both have interests of their own. Amcot earns nothing from the deal, so we look only at what's right for you, your business, and your family.

  1. Independent

    Amcot takes no commission and has no stake in a sale. We work alongside your accountant, tax advisor, and notary.

  2. A successor himself

    In 1985, Eric took over his father's business. He knows what it's like to grow into a role someone else built.

  3. He also sold his own businesses

    Almost forty years later he sat on the other side of the table, deciding the future of his own companies.

Frequently asked questions

Different situations. The same questions.

What can Amcot help me with?

Mainly succession in family businesses. Also coaching for owners and management teams, advice for the automotive industry, and governance questions for associations and foundations.

How is Amcot different from my accountant or M&A advisor?

Eric guides the decision itself, not the transaction. He has no stake in the outcome and works with your existing advisors on the tax and legal side. He also knows from experience what a handover feels like: in 1985, he took over his father's business.

How does it start, and what does it cost?

You start with a free one-hour introduction on Teams. If you want to continue, the starter package follows: four conversations and a final analysis for €1,200 excl. VAT, plus travel costs.

Is it worth calling if I'm not sure what my question is?

Yes, especially then. The first hour is for working out together what really matters.
