Expansion capital
Expansion capital for small and medium-sized companies looking to grow
Industrifonden offers expansion capital to small and medium-sized companies that already have an established product they are selling, but need capital to grow. Here we can offer financial solutions customized for each company. For example, the fund can become an owner through a share issue and in that way provide the company with additional equity. This strengthens its balance sheet, and the company’s bank can then provide more financing. We can also offer various types of loans, such as convertibles or loans with stock options, designed for each company’s financial situation.
We don't limit our investments to specific industries. Instead, to receive financing a company must be willing and able to grow, have an assertive, competent management that wants to and can expand the business, and a solid business concept. The company must also have a working business that generates revenues of at least SEK 10-20 million (with a maximum of SEK 400 million).
We do not place any time limits when we will exit an investment. How we sell our stake is determined from case to case and in consultation with the business owner.
