Approach & scope

The approach in practice

One discipline, several formats.

Investing takes several forms here. An angel ticket on a promising team. A minority position in an SME in growth or restructuring mode. A majority LBO with operational chairmanship. An M&A, governance or international representation advisory mandate.

The scope spans from capital to structuring, through networking and territorial expansion.

Selection happens case by case. Some deals are joined for their financial mechanics alone. Others for what JJ Capinvest can bring beyond the capital.
