Marktlink Opens First Office in Central and Eastern Europe, Expanding M&A Services in Poland

Marktlink, an independent M&A consulting firm focused on medium-sized enterprises, has officially opened its first office in Central and Eastern Europe, located in Warsaw. This marks the 18th office in Marktlink’s European network, further solidifying the firm’s commitment to providing tailored mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory services.

Anna Maria Jędrzejczak has been appointed Managing Partner of the new Polish branch. With extensive experience in the M&A field, Jędrzejczak previously served as M&A Director and co-founded EY’s Trading and Acre Assemblies Team, successfully managing numerous high-profile market transactions for both sellers and buyers.

Founded in the Netherlands in 1996, Marktlink has established itself as a trusted advisor for European entrepreneurs, guiding them through the complex processes of buying and selling businesses. The firm has successfully completed over 1,200 transactions to date and is currently one of the fastest-growing independent M&A advisors in Europe, boasting an international team of 300 specialists across offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and now Poland. Marktlink expects to execute approximately 150 transactions this year.

Managing Partner Ferry Nahon emphasized the strategic importance of Poland in the firm’s expansion plans:
“Independent research shows that 70% of European entrepreneurs plan to sell their businesses in the next decade. Poland is a significant economic player in the region, known for its solid trade relations and a diversified economy that fosters entrepreneurial growth. Our Polish office aims to support SME sector entrepreneurs, tapping into the great development potential of this market.”

Nahon added that Jędrzejczak’s local expertise and deep understanding of the business and investment ecosystem will be crucial to the firm’s success in the region. He stated, “The opening of the Polish office enhances Marktlink’s European presence, allowing entrepreneurs across the continent access to our unique network. Combined with our data-driven approach and extensive transaction experience, we aim to deliver the best possible M&A solutions.”

As Marktlink embarks on this new chapter, the firm is poised to make a significant impact on the Polish M&A landscape, providing valuable support to local businesses navigating the complexities of mergers and acquisitions.
