Creafund is a sector agnostic investment holding that focuses on growth financing or buy-out capital of mature SME's. Target companies have an innovative product or technology and/or are internationally active in a consolidating sector. Hence, the target companies are embarking on a new era of growth, be it organically or through buy-and-build.
Creafund mostly takes majority stakes of between EUR 5 and EUR 25m in Belgian SMEs, being companies with EBITDAs of between EUR 2,5m and EUR 25m, alongside entrepreneurs, family shareholders and management. Creafund invests via shares or share-related instruments and provides both growth capital as well as buy-out capital. Creafund hence creates a solution for succession or acts as a partner to realize a buy-out transaction. Creafund does not invest in seed, start-up or scale up companies.
