About us

Van Rijckevorsel & Partners is an independent advisory firm of twelve people. Most of us spent years at large banks and firms. We chose advice with no products to sell. You have one dedicated adviser, who knows your business inside out.

From the bank to your side

Douwe van Rijckevorsel spent fifteen years as a business adviser at a large bank. He saw good business owners with a good plan get stuck, because nobody helped them tell the plan in the bank's language. And he saw advisers who mainly earned from what they sold.

In 2009 he started his own firm, with one rule: we only earn from advice. No commission, no products. Today there are twelve of us, in an old office building on Voorbeeldstraat, and we have helped more than 1,400 business owners.

Independent

We earn nothing from products or lenders. Our advice does not have to lead anywhere.

One dedicated adviser

You always talk to the same person, who knows your business and your story.

Figures on the table

We show how we calculate. You must be able to explain the advice to your bank, your partner and your team.
