Company history/background
Who we are: Our company is a translation and localization company devoted to primarily European languages such as Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, English, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese and German. Since early 2012 we have also been offering Russian, Turkish and other languages. With offices in The Netherlands and Spain, a franchisee in Denmark and more than 18 years of experience we have a team of highly professional Project Managers and in-house translators/reviewers as well as a pool of more than 900 freelance translators (some of which are working almost exclusively for us) so we can take care of all requests from our clients. All our translators are native speakers and only translate into their mother tongue to ensure quality and fluency in the text – this ensures that the text is seen as an original text and not as a translation.
We are looking for an increase of our working capital, this can be done on the one hand through the sale of shares. On the other hand, a total acquisition of the company is also possible.

The operating margin would increase from 5% to 12% and the potential ROI of an investment of 500,000 would increase to 25%
