Holdings,
held to account.
DVG Beteiligungsgesellschaft AG structures investment and lending capital for companies with durable business models. We take positions we can explain, on terms we can defend, and with documentation that survives scrutiny.
Three positions, each defensible.
We do not run a product catalogue. We hold three core capital instruments, each designed around a specific stage of a company's life — and each disclosed with its terms visible from the first conversation.
Growth Participations
Direct equity and mezzanine positions in established mid-market companies with proven unit economics. We take minority stakes with clear governance rights, no operational interference, and a defined path to exit.
Hold period 4 – 8 years
Governance board observer
Secured Lending Facilities
Senior and unitranche debt secured against real assets, contracts, or cash flows. Structures designed around the borrower's repayment capacity — not a credit committee's template — with tenors matched to the underlying business cycle.
Pricing from 4.1% p.a.
Security asset-specific
Bridge & Transitional Capital
Short-dated capital for acquisitions, ownership transitions, and balance-sheet restructurings where timing determines the outcome. Interest calculated daily, exit permitted at any point without penalty, refinancing path documented before signature.
Interest daily accrual
Exit no penalty
A holding company earns its name by holding to a standard — not by holding assets.— DVG Beteiligungsgesellschaft AG · Investment Principles
Three reference points we return to in nearly every structuring conversation.
A 50 basis point difference on a CHF 5M facility over seven years equals roughly CHF 175,000 in additional interest. Rate negotiation is not a formality — it is the highest-yield hour in the entire process.
Most mid-market defaults trace to mismatched repayment schedules, not headline rates. A facility that mirrors the cash cycle prevents far more failures than a marginally lower coupon ever will.
Companies with pre-arranged capital close acquisition processes roughly four times more often. Readiness is a strategic asset — not a task to start once the opportunity appears.
Four stages, each on the record.
Every stage of our process ends with something in writing. You will never wonder what we are waiting for or where your application stands.
Introductory Discussion
A 25-minute call to understand the business, the financing need, and any constraints on timing or structure. No commitment and no documents required at this stage.
Indicative Proposal
A written term sheet within 24 hours: instrument type, amount, pricing, tenor, and conditions. Complete enough to bring to a board meeting without further translation.
Due Diligence & Underwriting
Financial review, collateral assessment, and structural analysis conducted together. Most decisions are issued within 72 hours of complete documentation.
Closing & Disbursement
Legal formalities completed and funds released on the agreed schedule. A plain-language summary of final terms accompanies every signed instrument.
