Since 2006 EI has been investing the capital of Polish Enterprise Fund VI, which totals €658 million. This fund actively seeks mid-market buyout projects in attractive sectors in Central and Eastern Europe.
Entrepreneurs decide to partner with our fund when selling part of their company, or when taking it to the next level of development. The fund is keen to work with individuals who want to run their company and retain a controlling stake but need capital to expand, to open new outlets, build factories abroad, or take over competitors. We are also interested in partnering with entrepreneurs who have been active for a long time and want to diversify their assets by selling a majority stake, while retaining involvement in their business at board level.
In most cases PEF VI invests at least €30-€60 million in return for a majority stake or 100% of the company.
