Overview

Structured capital for underserved SMEs

Inductio Capital deploys opportunistic, structured capital into a portfolio of high-potential small and medium-sized enterprises across Europe, the UAE and Africa — in situations where traditional financing institutions cannot provide capital with the speed, flexibility, and structuring creativity required by the circumstances.

A structural gap exists between what SMEs need and what the conventional financial system provides. High-growth companies constrained by banking covenants, businesses executing build-up strategies, and companies navigating court-supervised restructuring are routinely underserved. These are, in most cases, fundamentally sound businesses experiencing capital structure dislocation — not impaired ones.

Inductio Capital deploys capital opportunistically across the structure. Its core toolkit is remunerated shareholder current-account advances, equity stakes, and convertible instruments — complemented selectively by mezzanine, preferred equity, and bridge financing. Senior secured lending is reserved for exceptional, time-critical situations, not the Fund's default posture, with every investment enhanced by equity upside mechanisms calibrated to the risk profile of the transaction.

Investment Philosophy

Four core principles

Catalyst-driven investing

Every investment must have an identifiable, near-term catalyst that will create value — a refinancing event, an M&A exit, a court approval, or a revenue inflection point. We invest in verifiable theses, not in hope.

Capital stack optimization

We select the point of intervention that provides the optimal balance of return and downside protection — current-account advances, equity/convertibles, mezzanine, or preferred equity as the core toolkit, with senior secured lending held in reserve for exceptional situations.

Equity upside capture

Investments are structured with equity participation mechanisms — warrants, conversion rights, profit participation, or direct co-investment — calibrated to the complexity and risk of each transaction.

No venture risk

We explicitly exclude early-stage, pre-revenue, or speculative investments. Target companies have an established operating history and a management team capable of executing the plan.

Target Situations

Where we invest

A

Growth-Induced Liquidity Stress

Companies experiencing rapid organic growth that has outpaced their working capital availability — a structural mismatch rather than a fundamental business problem.

B

Build-Up & Consolidation Platforms

Companies executing a buy-and-build acquisition strategy that lack the acquisition financing to complete the next bolt-on, often under a time-sensitive window.

C

Commercial Court Protection

Companies entering or navigating formal insolvency protection proceedings, where court supervision and a defined timeline create exceptional downside protection for new money.

D

Special Situations & Capital Structure Dislocation

Shareholder disputes, succession situations, and recapitalizations involving an otherwise sound business whose capital structure is misaligned with its operational reality.

Reach & Origination

Where we deploy capital

Proprietary transaction flow sourced through relationships developed over 25+ years, via the Eques Fin LLC Group — active in Europe, the UAE and Africa since 1997. The Fund is opportunistic by design and not bound by fixed regional limits; the ranges below are indicative, non-binding, and reflect the origination network's historical pipeline.

Europe (Core) — 50–60%

Western Europe (France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands) and Southern Europe — the network's active corridor, not the full EU/EEA. Deep restructuring practice and a large base of owner-managed SMEs.

United States — 10–20%

Opportunistic, dollar-denominated situations sourced alongside the Fund's Delaware platform.

UAE / MENA — 10–20%

High-growth trading and services SMEs, family conglomerates seeking structured capital — a presence in the region since inception.

Sub-Saharan Africa — 10–20%

Emerging consumer and services businesses with strong domestic demand, tracked since 1997.

Ranges are indicative and overlapping by design — the Fund may deploy outside them where the opportunity set warrants. "Europe" refers to the network's active corridor, not an exhaustive list of EU/EEA member states.
