Investment focus
Divestments in Europe and North America:
Preserving Companies, Jobs, and Growth
Our strategy is to preserve mostly traditional companies that find themselves in a complex upheaval situation. After acquiring a majority stake, we assume the restructuring risk for the previous shareholders, who are either listed corporations, medium-sized companies, other private equity funds or family offices.
The clear objective is to preserve jobs and strengthen the respective business model through further acquisitions (buy & build).
Transparency and openness are key to our actions and our dealings with the people who work for our companies.
We acquire companies that optimally fulfill the following criteria:
- The sell side prefers a quick exit without a structured sales process.
- The sell side is itself an investor, a group or family office.
- The target has a turnover of between 5 and 75 million euros.
- The target is based in Europe or North America.
- The target no longer fits into the sell side's strategy or it is loss-making and no restructuring expenses are to be incurred.
Equity capital for companies in transitional situations:
Swift Capital for Restructuring Success
Companies in situations of upheaval need fresh capital quickly for a successful restructuring. We provide this to small and medium-sized corporations in Germany for a haircut and as part of a restructuring concept that has already been drawn up. If required, we also actively contribute the necessary capital with our network. Our investment and financing horizon is short-term and usually ends shortly after a successful restructuring. Depending on the initial situation, we make silent, majority and minority investments.
