Private Equity in Switzerland – Growth Driver, Strategic Tool, Tailor-Made Solution
Private equity isn’t just for tech start-ups or listed corporations. Today, it’s a powerful lever for investment, business succession, restructuring, or expansion—accessible to far more players than one might think. At PrestaFlex, we make private equity a concrete strategic tool, serving entrepreneurs, successors, and business transformers.
💡 What is Private Equity?
Private equity refers to an investment in the equity or quasi-equity of a non-listed company, generally through:
- A minority or majority shareholding
- A capital injection (capital increase, share buyout…)
- A hybrid structure: debt + equity (mezzanine, convertible, etc.)
🎯 Who is it for?
At PrestaFlex, we structure private equity transactions from CHF 500,000 up to over CHF 60 million for:
- Mature businesses seeking growth or facing temporary challenges
- Business owners seeking partners or planning gradual succession
- Entrepreneurs acquiring a company (MBO, LBO)
- Startups in seed stage or Series A/B
- Family-owned companies looking to grow without taking on debt
- Investment funds seeking solid opportunities
📊 Concrete examples of transactions led by PrestaFlex
🔹 CHF 850,000 injected into a medical software company in Vaud via a private co-investment vehicle.
🔹 CHF 2.3 million in equity + convertible debt for an industrial equipment manufacturer undergoing restructuring.
🔹 CHF 7.5 million in private equity + mezzanine debt for a logistics company MBO.
🔹 CHF 18 million fundraising for a Geneva-based healthy food brand with international ambitions.
🔹 CHF 52 million raised to support a family business succession in the precision industry in German-speaking Switzerland.
🛠️ What PrestaFlex delivers

- Legal and financial structuring of the transaction
- Valuation, business plan, data room, investor presentations
- Negotiation of terms (term sheet, shareholders’ agreement, etc.)
- Coordination with lawyers, notaries, and financial advisors
- Full confidentiality and conflict-of-interest management
🤝 Why entrust your fundraising to PrestaFlex?

- Confidential, bespoke operations outside public platforms
- Strategic insight into your project (valuation, feasibility, dilution)
- Hands-on experience in private equity, M&A, external growth, and consolidation

🔐 Private Equity ≠ Loss of Control

- Ensure your management autonomy
- Include exit clauses (buy-back, earn-out, etc.)
- Respect your values, your team, and your strategic vision
