Grow with capital

Growing requires the right funding at the right time

You have a strong idea, started a business or are ready to scale. Without the right funding, your next step may remain out of reach. That's why LIOF invests where others still hesitate, looking at what your business can become rather than only where it stands today.

Through grants, (convertible) loans and equity investments, we help startups, scale-ups and innovative SMEs grow. We combine funding with sector expertise, guidance and a strong network, giving your business the room to grow.

Funding is the first step.
Growth is the goal.

Three funds

for your growth plans

It doesn't matter what stage you are in. Whether you are still working on an idea or starting your business, or whether you are in the process of growing your business. You can always brainstorm with us about financing. We have two funds with different types of financing to make your growth plans possible:

The Limburg Startup Capital Fund, a fund with two financial instruments for the development of innovations from idea to market.
The Participation Fund, a fund for innovative SMEs that want to grow or are thinking of an acquisition, business succession or turnaround
The SME Transition Loan, a (subordinated) loan for SMEs where the co-financing is at least 50% of the loan amount and where a demonstrable impact is made on one of the transitions.
