Private Equity and Leverage: Why Choose PrestaFlex as Your Financing Partner?
In the world of Private Equity, the value of a deal is not limited to identifying a promising target or negotiating an attractive price. The true leverage lies in the ability to structure financing in an intelligent, flexible, and fast way. This is precisely where PrestaFlex positions itself as an essential ally for funds and investment companies.
The importance of flexible solutions for Private Equity
Private Equity players know that a successful transaction often relies on a subtle mix of equity and external financing. Every franc or euro of cash invested must generate optimal returns without suffocating the liquidity of the acquired companies. To reach this balance, instruments such as leasing, leaseback (sale & leaseback), factoring, or bridge loans become strategic levers. They help free up cash flow, secure growth or refinancing transactions, and accelerate the implementation of ambitious development plans.
Leasing and leaseback: breathing space for financial management
Leasing – whether traditional or leaseback – plays a central role in liquidity management.
- Traditional leasing: finance machinery, vehicles, or equipment without tying up equity capital, while maintaining cash flow flexibility.
- Leaseback: turn immobilized assets into immediate liquidity while continuing to use them operationally. For funds, this solution improves investment profitability without dilution.
Factoring: unlocking tied-up capital
In many buyouts, the target company holds a significant volume of accounts receivable. Factoring means selling these receivables to obtain immediate cash. The result: improved working capital, reduced debtor default risk, and a stronger ability to finance growth. This is a tool that many Private Equity funds still underutilize, even though it is extremely effective in boosting the liquidity of portfolio companies.
Bridge loans: keeping transactions on track
When a fund needs to close an acquisition before all capital has been raised, or while waiting for liquidity inflows, a bridge loan offers a fast and pragmatic solution. PrestaFlex steps in to structure this type of temporary financing, allowing investors to avoid delaying a strategic timeline or missing a competitive opportunity.
Why PrestaFlex?
For over ten years, PrestaFlex has developed unique expertise in financial engineering for SMEs and complex transactions. Our approach is built on three pillars:
- Agility: rapid structuring, precise case analysis, decisions within just a few days.
- Network: privileged access to banks, financial institutions, family offices, and institutional partners in Switzerland and across Europe.
- Tailor-made solutions: we adapt each financing to the reality of the deal and the specific needs of the fund – whether to strengthen cash flow, prepare an exit, or optimize return on equity.
A platform designed for investors
Working with PrestaFlex means gaining access to a true financing toolbox: leasing, leaseback, factoring, bridge loans, mezzanine, refinancing, and credit insurance. For a Private Equity firm, this translates into maximizing the financial flexibility of portfolio companies, reducing operational risks, and accelerating value creation.
Conclusion
PrestaFlex goes beyond simply providing capital. Together with Private Equity funds, we build robust and scalable financial architectures that turn every transaction into an optimized growth opportunity. In a market where speed and creativity make the difference, PrestaFlex is the partner that enables investors to go further, faster, and with greater security.
