What does private financing for companies involve?
Who are private financing solutions for
- Growing companies that need capital for expansion or acquisitions.
- Start-ups and scale-ups with rapid growth potential.
- Founders interested in partial exit or attracting new shareholders.
- Founders who are interested in the later full sale of the company (total exit).

Private financing options for companies
There are several private financing options, each with specific characteristics and suitable for different business needs:
- Private equity: Funds invested in your business in exchange for a share of the company.
- Private debt: Loans from investors that do not involve shareholder dilution.
- Crowdfunding: Financing from many individual investors, ideal for start-ups.
- Private bonds: Loans issued by the company, attractive for institutional investors.
Each option can be customized according to your company’s financial profile.
How does the private financing process for companies unfold?
The private financing process includes several essential stages:
- Assessment of financing needs: Start by identifying the required amount and the suitable type of financing.
- Choosing the instruments: Select between private equity, private debt, crowdfunding etc.
- Negotiation and documentation of the transaction: Establish the terms with investors and prepare your documentation.
- Finalizing the agreement and obtaining the funds: Sign the contracts and access the necessary capital.
In this process, VERTIK can guide you at every step, ensuring that you choose the best solutions for your company.
Benefits of financing through private equity (private equity or crowdfunding)
- Quick access to liquidity with minority dilution of the majority shareholders’ or founders’ ownership.
- Bringing new shareholders into the capital for a medium- or long-term partnership. In the case of private equity, investment funds may request majority ownership.
- Diversification of financing sources beyond bank financing.
- Possibility of financing projects with long-term visibility or growth prospects in which the founders remain with the company for a period, but later can sell the company entirely.
