While you take care of your business, we start our proven fundraising process and give you access to our bank’s extensive investor network. We have to admit, just like our investors, we’re also very selective. Your investment case should meet the following requirements:
- Sales: Over CHF 1 million p.a.
- Domicile: Switzerland
- Capital requirements: Growth financing of at least CHF 3 million
- Attractive market: Promising and fast-growing market
- Business idea and business model: High degree of innovation and rapidly scalable business model
We review every business plan or business presentation and give you timely feedback. If you have caught our attention, we analyze your investment case in more detail to assess the attractiveness for potential investors.
In 2012, UBS launched the “SEF.Growth” initiative together with the Swiss Economic Forum (SEF), and has continuously developed this further ever since. We offer young companies with excellent potential the opportunity to have their strategy and business plans reviewed by independent experts from the SEF network. The best companies are then awarded the “SEF.High-Potential” label.
For companies recognized as a “SEF.High-Potential”, we have given thought to some special product solutions. In this way, companies’ future prospects are rated more highly than usual in the credit check, for example.
