Our strategy

Business Development Partner

We have built up and developed EMERAM Capital Partners as an independent SME. Our relationship with our portfolio companies is based on partnership on equal terms. We regard ourselves as a growth partner for companies and business owners. On their journey to new stages of development, we support our portfolio companies and their management with capital and expertise. We call this business development partnership.

We help our portfolio companies to constantly take their opportunities and achieve further organic and inorganic growth. That is why we are particularly focused on strengthening our equity investments through follow-on acquisitions. As a result, they expand their range of services or tap into new markets and target groups. 

In our capacity as a business development partner, we act as an outsourced department. Consequently, the portfolio companies of the funds that we advise receive our extensive support and guidance in their day-to-day business. Our services are focused on six areas of expertise:

  1. strategy development
  2. organizational design
  3. personal development
  4. operational excellence
  5. digitalisation
  6. ESG

 

As a result, our portfolio companies benefit from our expertise and experience, which are typically provided by the Business Development Department at large companies.

Responsibility

As a company, we are aware of our responsibility to society. This particularly applies to the ever-growing group of pensioners: through their pension plans (in the form of pension funds or life insurance), they are part of our biggest investor group, and financial stability is their top priority. Consequently, sustainable management (ESG), alongside long-term targets and partnerships, is an integral part of our strategy. As a business development partner, we foster enterprise and entrepreneurial spirit, which are in our DNA.
