Description

The classic participation of MBG Mittelständische Beteiligungsgesellschaft Hamburg mbH is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises as well as start-ups with a registered office or place of business in Hamburg that require capital for investments, growth financing, business takeovers, relocations, or market launches. In the form of typical silent partnerships, MBG provides up to €500,000 in equity capital, thereby enabling a strengthening of the equity base, an improvement in creditworthiness, and long-term planning security. The term of up to 120 months is based on the individual financing needs and is complemented by an annual fixed fee, a one-time processing fee, and a profit-dependent remuneration. This participation capital thus opens up new opportunities for technology companies, young start-ups, and established businesses in Hamburg to implement forward-looking projects and sustainably expand their market position.

Funding applications can be submitted informally at any time. In addition to the company’s registered office or place of business in Hamburg, a detailed project description and a complete business plan are required. For the evaluation of the participation project, the annual financial statements of the last three fiscal years, a current business management report, and a self-disclosure of the shareholders are needed. Eligible expenses include investments in machinery, land acquisition, operating resources, as well as measures for market launch. Through this uncomplicated, flexible financing component, ambitious companies in all growth phases receive appropriate support to realize their plans quickly and sustainably.
