Equity Investments for Expansion and Business Security

The silent mezzanine participation of MBG Mittelständische Beteiligungsgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg GmbH supports established SMEs in Baden-Württemberg in financing growth and safeguarding measures. Up to €1.5 million supplement the economic equity capital and create new scope for operational and capacity expansions, modernization, as well as rationalization processes. Cooperation, product and range expansions, market development, and measures in structural change are also promoted. Due to the subordinated nature of the silent participation, liquidity scope for classic bank loans is preserved, the rating improves, and personal guarantees are only required within the scope of shareholder liability. As a state-owned development and investment company, MBG acts as a neutral partner and provides access to a broad network of banks, chambers, and associations – without operational influence.

Funding is provided to established companies with investment locations in Baden-Württemberg that present a promising business concept and do not plan a pure refinancing or restructuring project. Follow-up financing, restructurings, and refinancing are excluded. Applications can be submitted at any time via the house bank or directly to MBG. The participation is flexibly aligned with the economic equity capital and targets companies that require financial resources for expansion, modernization, or restructuring. The continuously available funding option relies on reliability and strengthens the equity ratio of local SMEs in the long term.
