The decision to establish a presence in Lausanne is based on a simple logic: French-speaking Switzerland is home to a dense network of family-owned SMEs and mid-cap companies, which often receive little support with their long-term financial planning, even as the challenges they face in terms of business succession, growth and capital structuring become ever more complex.
The geographical, cultural and economic proximity to France, combined with the rigour and stability of the Swiss model, makes it a region naturally aligned with Carmine Capital’s approach.
The Swiss M&A market remains one of the strongest in Europe, whilst evolving towards more selective and strategic operations.
In French-speaking Switzerland, many family-owned businesses are reaching pivotal moments in their history: succession, opening up their capital, diversification, or accelerating their growth. These structural decisions require support that is technical, strategic and personal.
It is precisely in this segment that Carmine Capital Suisse operates.
Carmine Capital Suisse primarily target executives and shareholders of SMEs and mid-cap companies, often operating in the area between local advisors and major investment banks.
Our aim is to offer an independent approach, based on a close working relationship, confidentiality and high-quality execution, with direct contact and tailored support at every stage of the process.
