North German Retail Fit-Out Specialist Seeks Growth Capital (Mezzanine)
Company Description
An owner-managed woodworking company in northern Germany, in business for over 100 years, is seeking mezzanine capital to finance its growth. Since 2023, the company has been reorienting its business from small-scale retail projects to high-quality commercial and retail furnishings, counter systems, and trade show construction for commercial clients operating nationwide.
Clients include renowned retail and restaurant chains operating throughout Germany, as well as industrial companies with multiple branch locations. With modern machinery—including 5-axis CNC technology—a production hall newly constructed in 2023, and approximately 2,300 m² of production space, the company has the capacity to handle demanding, large-scale projects nationwide.
Financially, the company is showing an upward trend: With revenue of approximately 1.0 million EUR (2025), the gross profit margin rose from around 67% (2023) to over 75% (2025) as part of a portfolio streamlining. Confirmed order intake for 2026 already stands at 125 TEUR (June/July), with a revenue forecast of approximately 1.15 million EUR.
Revenue pre-financing is required to cover several concurrent large orders from nationwide framework contract clients, as down payments typically cover only about 30% of project costs. The company is seeking an investor for a bullet-payment, land-encumbered mezzanine financing arrangement. Operational management will remain unchanged within the company.
