WHERE REVIVA INVESTS

We invest exclusively in solid, medium-sized companies that can be described as follows:

​​

  • Medium-sized companies with sales of € 30 million to € 200 million in the German-speaking region (DACH), and selectively in the rest of Europe.

  • Revitalization potential exists in all market sectors, which is why we do not have a sector focus.

  • REVIVA is looking for a majority stake, usually 100% of the shares. For larger investment opportunities, we collaborate with co-investors.

  • Solid stands for mainstream or mediocre. We do neither invest in distressed businesses nor - on the other opposite - in fully developed companies.

TRANSACTION SECURITY

REVIVA invests "deal by deal". We know our investors personally - most of them are also entrepreneurs. REVIVA is contractually related to each investor, i.e., funds are available promptly. We co-invest with our investors and have "skin in the game". 

 

Our decision-making processes are straightforward. We are an agile organization and usually manage transaction processes swiftly. Open and transparent communication is essential, in our view. With regard to legal and tax issues, we always collaborate with external law firms, tax advisors, etc.
