The Italian SME is increasingly dealing with the need of an high amount of money in order to exploit opportunities offered by the globalized market or to restructure and improve the current activities.

Nowadays  the debt in order to face financial needs is less accessible and the enterprise could benefit from the use of different financial instruments such as capital increases reserved for institutional investors but also hybrid instruments aimed to increase the risk capital without the entry of new shareholders in the ownership.

In these cases sharing the industrial plan with an influential merchant bank could enhance the opportunities for the entrepreneur/management team, both strategic and urgent for the business.
