VR Equitypartner is one of the leading equity investors for medium-sized companies (the so-called Mittelstand) in Europe\u2019s German-speaking countries. We support medium-sized family companies in implementing growth plans<\/strong>, financing expansion, in company succession matters<\/strong> and with changes to shareholder structure.<\/strong>This can be in the form of majority<\/strong> and minority shareholdings<\/strong> and with mezzanine capital<\/strong> .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a subsidiary of DZ Bank<\/b>, the parent holding of the cooperative banking group, we are part of a large cooperative network. A spirit of partnership and sustainable corporate development are integral to who we are. An open approach, trust in each other’s strengths and competencies and a sense of responsibility are part of our corporate culture. We see ourselves as financiers of the Mittelstand and not as investment bankers. We are not tied to pre-determined exit time frames and we support our companies<\/b> for as long as it takes – which can sometimes be up to 12 years and longer. We adopt the same sustainable approach when it comes to debt financing: We assess the financial capacity of every company and make sure that the level of debt never impinges on the company\u2019s room for maneuver.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With 50 years\u2019 experience (our predecessor company was founded in 1970) and over several hundred engagements over that time, our accumulated know-how and experience can help you take your company<\/b> forward, realize your objectives and find strategic solutions to complex financing issues. At present, our portfolio comprises some 60 companies with a total investment volume of EUR 400 million.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our success is an endorsement of our partnership approach: A look at our current portfolio (status as of end 2019) shows not only that sales at most of our majority and minority shareholdings are up significantly, or very significantly, but also the number of employees.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What sets us apart<\/h2>\n

No pressure to sell our holdings and a broad network of reliable financing partners: VR Equitypartner\u2019s investments are funded entirely by DZ Bank AG and we are therefore not subject to the requirements of fund-based refinancing.<\/p>\n

This has three key benefits for you:<\/p>\n
