Capital
Capital & Financing
Capital for significant decisions.
GestInvest works with companies, shareholders and investors on equity, debt and acquisition financing across strategic growth and transaction situations.
Positioning
The right capital structure
changes the outcome.
Our work goes beyond finding money. It is about how much capital is needed, which instrument fits, what type of investor or lender makes sense, how to structure the operation, how to approach the market and how to negotiate terms.
What We Do
Six areas of
capital structuring.
Capital Raising
Sourcing capital for growth, expansion, projects and strategic needs — positioning, investor identification, process management and negotiation.
Equity Financing
Capital from financial or strategic investors — minority and majority equity, growth capital, private equity and family office capital.
Debt Financing
Structuring debt — senior and structured debt, private credit, refinancing, growth financing and asset-backed financing where applicable.
Acquisition Financing
Capital to support acquisitions — acquisition debt, equity contribution, sponsor capital and transaction financing structure.
Capital Structuring
Defining the right combination of equity, debt and other instruments — leverage assessment, dilution considerations and liquidity planning.
Strategic Investors
Identifying and approaching investors who add capital and strategic value — corporates, family offices, private equity and institutional capital.

From assessment

Capital Sources
Selected relationships,
not guaranteed access.
Engagement with a range of capital providers, built on relationships and fit — not a promise of committed capital.
Cross-Border Capital
Connecting businesses with
international capital.
GestInvest supports situations where capital and company are based in different geographies, with a focus on Portugal and Europe and selected international relationships.
Related Capabilities
Capital often works
alongside other decisions.
Discretion & Selectivity
Selective access.
Controlled process.
The approach to investors and lenders is selective, confidential and oriented towards fit — not a broad or open solicitation of capital.
