Sale: Current Connect

The past few years have been marked by rapid growth for Current Connect, including the establishment of a new entity to serve the German market. To accelerate this growth, the two shareholders decided to join forces with a financially powerful partner. De Jong & Laan advised and guided the organisation throughout the pre-exit sale process.

Sale: Current Connect

Based in Raalte, Current Connect specialises in total solutions for large-scale roll-out projects, particularly in the field of fibre optics (Fiber to the Home). The company carries out on-site surveys and installations, as well as large-scale splicing work in distribution points and so-called Area PoPs.

Since its foundation in 2008, Current Connect has connected more than half a million households to fibre networks for various providers. In addition, the company serves several major clients by carrying out triple-play installation services and installing smart metering equipment.

Rapid growth

The strong expansion in recent years, combined with the move into the German market, made it clear to the two shareholders of Current Connect that a financially powerful partner was needed to take the company to the next stage.

Pre-exit

This partner was found in Blauwburgh Invest, with whom the shareholders completed a pre-exit. Blauwburgh is an entrepreneurial investment company with a broad sector focus. It provides not only capital, but also knowledge and expertise, while relying on the continued commitment of the current shareholders to make the partnership a success.

  • Preparing the information memorandum;
  • Identifying and approaching potential acquisition candidate;
