Large and medium-sized companies in Europe are facing unique challenges and opportunities arising from the changes in various business models and industries. In this context, bestin.capital supports corporates primarily in the following areas:
Growth & Scale Ups
In the growth phase of a company, effective scaling in sales and efficient use of capital plays a decisive role. We support companies in this phase:
- Alternative debt & direct-lending financing: Innovative financing tailored to the specific needs of your business offers flexibility and agility to enable your growth objectives.

- B2B Lead Generation: Omnichannel sales support to acquire new customers from innovative target sectors.
Distressed & Transition of Business Models
Many business models are not sustainable without a disruptive upheaval or repositioning of the business model. In such situations, affected companies must be made fit for the future through a short-term realignment. The company's existing infrastructure can often serve as a competitive advantage in new sectors. We provide support with this:
- Development of an individual business concept,which gives the company sustainable access to promising sectors.
- Manpower: Our broad network of interim partners provides an experienced expert who can provide operational support and management activities for almost any area of application.
- Capital for Change: Our distressed financing solutions include both debt and equity solutions to provide you with short-term liquidity and enable you to finance your transformation.

In this dynamic environment, new financing opportunities for companies and projects are constantly emerging. By working closely with companies and investors, we structure state-of-the-art financing solutions and support established and new business models in the renewable energy sector.
Infrastructure and portfolio financing

These include photovoltaics, wind energy, hydrogen, biogas, storage, and charging technologies for electric vehicles and data centers.
