Sievi Capital as an owner
Committed partner for our target companies
Sievi Capital is a long-term and committed partner for our target companies, unlisted Finnish SMEs. We will partner with our target companies’ entrepreneurs to share the risk and enable them to fully exploit the company’s potential with our support.
We create business and exit plans for our target companies at the time of investment. We operate in a goal-oriented manner, develop companies systematically and update plans regularly. By being flexible in the timing of the exit, we ensure the best possible price at exit.
Sievi Capital develops its target companies through active ownership supported by network of professional advisers. Our targets are set high and, as the business operations of our target companies develop and their value increases, both the target companies’ owner-entrepreneurs and Sievi Capital’s shareholders will benefit.
