KADE GROUP - Corporate Finance

Our investment approach

We share the ambitions of entrepreneurs throughout Ukraine. Driven by their vision we're changing the future and making difference in lives of people.

We can invest to minority shares package of (20-45%) in the companies that have already have strong management, brand and market position and seeking growth finance, so we have a seat on the board. We help your business to gain growth ambitions, to restructure shareholdings, release equity or change equity balance to debt. We apply flexible funding packages that may consist of loan providing, as well as, equity funding – whatever is most suitable. We will only invest to the business if the majority of shareholders feel that their interests are aligned with ours.

If you are an active partner it is your business to run. Our part is to support, give you advice, provide you with the global insights and access to our contacts base.

For the companies at earlier growth stages that need more financial and organizational involvment, we aim at the majority stake. We await more value added from these companies, so we support them with our full faith and energy. The main investment criteria for this group are value growth potential of the company and our expertise in its field.

If you are a shareholder, our interests are the same – profit, shares’ price growth and sustainable success.

We provide our partners-entrepreneurs with outstanding resources like in-depth industry insight and experience. Our partnership approach makes it easier to achieve success.

There are some typical key moments we care while running the project.

Focus on Business Plans
Prior any investments our managers scrutinize thoroughly a business plan helping to create the best conditions for its effective execution. This is one of the major parts where added value could be created.

Selectivity and Specialization
As the industry matures we become also extremely selective to pursue only those where we have knowledge and capability to “add value”.

Ability to Negotiate
Unlike public security purchasing, we usually negotiate the price along with a variety of protections including the exclusion of liabilities, indemnities and retroactive price adjustments.

Inside information
KADE can legally take the advantage of using inside information in its investment process and thereby increase its effectiveness.

Value Added Focus
Main goals for our companies are corporate value maximization of corporate value, aggressive business plans settings and debt financing involvement

Governance / Control
Unlike the governance structure of the public company, we often master some level of control and/or influence, allowing strategic and operation intervention if necessary.

All investments of KADE GROUP are divided into venture capital, leveraged buy-out of mature companies (LBO) and alternative investments.
