About us
BerendsenVisser consists of three experienced professionals with backgrounds in business economics, special management and finance. Together we help entrepreneurs through challenging times.
Thomas Berendsen
Until 2017 I spent years at Rabobank Special Management meeting entrepreneurs who had run into trouble. My challenge was to find the best solution together. The relationship built over time played an important role. Today I help entrepreneurs with business-economic questions with great energy. My specialities are: (re)gaining the trust of financiers and stakeholders, financial and strategic issues, and drafting and executing action plans. With my enthusiasm I know how to convince people.
Mark Visser
Over the past ten years I have helped dozens of entrepreneurs navigate to a safe harbour. This could involve strategic uncertainty: where should I go? Or serious continuity issues, requiring balance sheet restructurings and crucial negotiations with suppliers, tax authorities and the bank. The strength lies in a human touch and pure passion. As a lecturer at Nyenrode University, I love combining this with the latest insights so that SMEs can sail closer to the wind.
Maarten de Jong
Since 2006 I have been helping entrepreneurs obtain the financing they need to grow and innovate. As co-founder and director of Oneplanetcrowd (merged with Invesdor) I was responsible for an SME loan portfolio of >€150 million. When (threatening) problems arose, we intervened quickly and decisively. Not with a blunt axe, but with creative, workable solutions where business continuity always comes first. This way we prevent costly legal proceedings, the good relationship remains intact and financiers get their money back.
