Raise capital with the investor platform

Want to obtain additional funding with the help of private individuals who make direct investments? Or invest in startups yourself and contribute your expertise? Why not? The investor platform of Credit Suisse brings companies and investors together.

An investor platform for every need

Companies in the growth stage and SMEs in the run-up to succession often require capital that cannot be covered by bank financing. At the same time, seasoned entrepreneurs and managers want to invest in Swiss companies using direct investments, while also providing specialist advice. As the bank for entrepreneurs, we bring entrepreneurs and investors together in a win-win situation.

 

A short discussion of the topic or the first meeting of a detailed consultation is free of charge for existing clients.
