NAJK, together with Rabobank, LLTB, ZLTO and LTO Noord, is launching the updated Boerzoek Boer platform. According to them, this makes it even easier for transferors and possible successors to get in touch with each other in the event of a takeover outside the family.
At the launch, NAJK reported that it sees many agricultural companies ending because there is no successor. ‘At the same time, there are many young people who would really like to become farmers or enter into a partnership, without any prospect of an agricultural business. Through ‘Farmer seeks Farmer’, several business transferors and successors have found each other in recent years and great collaborations have emerged. With the platform that has been live since May 1, this is now even easier.’
Takeover outside the family
‘Transferring or taking over a company is a complex process and does not happen overnight,’ explains Coen van den Bighelaar, executive director at NAJK with the business acquisition portfolio. ‘Through this new platform, potential retiring entrepreneurs can come into contact with young, enthusiastic, future entrepreneurs. Business closure can thus become business succession.’

Farmers can participate in the online platform by creating an account via boerzoektboer.najk.nl. Participation costs 75 euros per year.
