Participation Fund
Strengthen equity for start-up, growth or acquisition
The LIOF Participation Fund is for newly started, innovative SMEs that want to grow, and medium to large entrepreneurs who want to grow or are thinking of a takeover, business succession or turnaround.
The Limburg Startup Capital Fund (LSCF) is a fund for startups and innovative SMEs that contribute with their innovation to the main societal transitions of the coming years: energy, circularity, health and digitalization. The Limburg Startup Capital Fund (LSCF) covers with a mix of financial resources the development of your innovative product, from idea to market and has two sub-instruments.
The Limburg Early Phase Fund (LVFF): with the LVFF we finance innovations - of which the feasibility has been demonstrated - in the initial phase of development (the so-called 'proof of concept' phase).
The Seed Fund Limburg (SFL): the SFL is intended to make the further development or growth of the innovation financially possible.
