Expert Business Advisory for Irish Entrepreneurs & DGA's
We help owner-managed businesses navigate corporate finance, from selling or acquiring a company to structuring tax-efficient dividends. If you're a DGA or Dutch entrepreneur dealing with Box 2 taxation in Ireland, you've found the right partner.
Selling or Acquiring Your Business
Whether you're an Irish SME looking to acquire a competitor or an entrepreneur ready to sell your BV to international buyers, we guide you through every stage of the deal.
Exit Strategy & Acquisition Advisory
Selling a business isn't just about finding a buyer — it's about maximising value while minimising tax exposure. We work with private equity firms, strategic industry buyers, and international acquirers to position your BV for the best possible outcome. From initial valuation through due diligence to completion, our team in Blackrock handles the heavy lifting so you can stay focused on running your company. We've closed deals across Dublin, Kildare, and nationwide for SMEs in manufacturing, retail, and professional services.
Sell Your BV
Structured exit planning for BV owners targeting international and private equity buyers. We prepare your business for sale and manage the entire transaction process.
Acquire Competitors
Strategic M&A for Irish SMEs looking to grow through acquisition. We identify targets, negotiate terms, and structure deals that protect your interests.
Company Valuation & MBO Financing
Accurate valuation is the cornerstone of any transaction. We provide robust, defensible valuations and help management teams secure MBO financing from Irish banks.
Business Valuation
For sale, insurance, or shareholder disputes — we deliver detailed valuation reports for owner-managed businesses in Cork, Limerick, Kildare, and Meath.
Start-Up MBO Advice
Dublin start-ups trust us to structure management buy-out financing that aligns founders, managers, and investors for sustainable growth.
MBO Financing & Transaction Support
A management buy-out can be the ideal succession route, but financing it requires careful planning. We help Irish BVs optimise their MBO financing structures, working with local banks and alternative lenders to secure competitive terms. Our transaction support covers everything from financial modelling to negotiation strategy, ensuring your management team has the backing it needs to take the reins with confidence. We've supported MBOs ranging from €500k to €15m across multiple sectors.
Tax-Efficient Dividend Strategies & Box 2 Compliance
For DGA's and Dutch entrepreneurs in Ireland, navigating Box 2 taxation on BV holdings demands specialist knowledge. We design dividend strategies that keep more money in your pocket.
Optimal Dividend Payouts
We model different payout scenarios to identify the most tax-efficient dividend structure for your specific circumstances, balancing immediate income needs against long-term wealth preservation.
Box 2 Compliance
Dutch entrepreneurs operating BVs in Ireland face unique dual-taxation challenges. We ensure full Box 2 compliance while leveraging EU cross-border directives to minimise your overall liability.
Cross-Border Restructuring
Restructuring your BV for cross-border tax efficiency requires meticulous planning. We help Irish-based DGA's restructure holdings to optimise their position under both Irish and Dutch tax regimes.
Holding Structures & Capital Extraction
Irish entrepreneurs often accumulate wealth inside their BV without a clear plan for extracting it tax-efficiently. We design holding structures that shield your assets while creating legitimate pathways for cash extraction. Whether you're planning for retirement or simply want to access the value you've built, our strategies ensure you don't trigger unnecessary tax liabilities. Family-owned BVs particularly benefit from our approach to intergenerational wealth transfer through optimised holding company structures.
Tax-Efficient Holding Companies
Restructure your holdings to shield BV assets from unnecessary taxation. We create layered structures that protect your wealth across jurisdictions.
BV Cash Extraction
Optimise how you extract money from your company — dividends, salary, pension contributions, or loan arrangements — all structured for maximum tax efficiency.
Retirement Planning for Owners
Transitioning toward retirement? We map out a phased extraction plan that funds your next chapter while keeping the business financially sound.
Business Succession & Leadership Transition
Every business owner eventually faces the question: what happens next? We help you answer it with a clear, actionable succession plan tailored to your family, your team, and your legacy.
Family Business Succession
Passing a BV to the next generation isn't just a transaction — it's a transition of leadership, values, and vision. We facilitate the conversations and structures that make family succession work, serving business owners across Blackrock, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Waterford, and Longford. Our approach balances emotional dynamics with hard financial realities.
Exit Planning for Irish SMEs
Manufacturing and retail SMEs across Ireland trust us to build exit roadmaps that preserve their life's work. Whether the timeline is two years or ten, early planning makes all the difference. We address valuation gaps, leadership development, and buyer readiness so you're never rushed into a suboptimal deal.
Trusted by Irish Entrepreneurs & DGA's
Real outcomes from real clients who've sold BVs, optimised dividends, and executed successful MBOs with our guidance.
“We'd been wrestling with how to structure the sale of our manufacturing BV for nearly two years before finding Newtown Ventures. They identified three qualified international buyers we hadn't even considered and negotiated a deal that exceeded our valuation expectations by 18%. The tax structuring alone saved us over €200k. I only wish we'd called them sooner.”
Former Owner, Precision Engineering BV — Cork
“As a Dutch DGA operating in Ireland, I was losing sleep over Box 2 compliance. Newtown Ventures mapped out a dividend strategy that cut my effective tax rate significantly while keeping everything fully compliant.”
DGA, Tech Holdings BV — Dublin
“Our MBO wouldn't have happened without them. They structured the financing, coached our management team through negotiations, and got the bank comfortable with projections they'd initially rejected.”
