YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Macro volatility is reshaping investment cases and valuations
- With Dutch GDP growing 0.9% in 2024 and inflation averaging 3.3%, historic sales trends can mislead forecasts, pricing assumptions and valuation.
- YCP stress-tests demand, pricing and margin scenarios against current market signals, giving investors a defensible view of downside, upside and value drivers.
Fragmented SME data can obscure market position and scale
- More than 99% of Dutch enterprises are SMEs, many with limited public reporting. This makes market sizing, share estimates and customer concentration harder to verify.
- YCP combines primary interviews, channel checks and triangulated datasets to turn fragmented evidence into a reliable view of market position and growth.
Tight labour supply is testing the credibility of growth plans
- At the end of 2024, the Netherlands had about 106 vacancies per 100 unemployed people, keeping wage pressure and capacity constraints central to commercial plans.
- YCP tests whether hiring, productivity and retention assumptions can support the plan, quantifying the revenue and margin exposure for buyers and management.
Sustainability expectations are moving into the deal case
- With a national goal to cut emissions by at least 55% by 2030 versus 1990, transition costs and customer requirements are becoming core value drivers.
- YCP links regulatory and customer shifts to market demand, competitive positioning and capex needs, so sustainability risks are reflected in the investment case.
