Investment Funding Services – Portugal
Strategic Investment Funding Solutions for Portuguese Businesses
AIHG Portugal provides tailored funding services, including direct business loans and non-equity profit-sharing partnerships. Designed for private companies and joint ventures, our solutions help Portuguese businesses access capital, manage risk, and achieve sustainable growth while preserving ownership.
Portugal’s economy is experiencing steady growth, driven by tourism, renewable energy, agriculture, real estate, and technology start-ups. Cities like Lisbon, Porto, Braga, and the Algarve are hubs of business innovation and investment opportunities.
Despite these opportunities, many Portuguese SMEs and joint ventures face challenges in securing financing. Banks often require substantial collateral, while venture capital or private equity can dilute ownership. This limits the ability of businesses to grow sustainably and scale efficiently.
AIHG Portugal bridges this financing gap by offering strategically structured investment plans that combine:
- Direct Loans: Debt financing for companies with predictable revenue and stable cash flow.
- Profit-Sharing Partnerships: Flexible, non-equity funding linked to revenue performance, allowing founders to retain ownership.
- Risk-Aligned Structuring: Solutions tailored to Portugal’s economic, regulatory, and tax framework.
- Sector Expertise: Investment planning focused on high-growth industries with sustainable demand.
- Compliance Assurance: Funding agreements fully aligned with Portuguese corporate law, tax regulations, and EU directives.
Our services support businesses across Portugal—from Lisbon’s tech and start-up ecosystem to Porto’s industrial and logistics hubs, the Algarve’s tourism and hospitality sector, and vineyards and agricultural enterprises across the country.
Furthermore, AIHG leverages global investment frameworks, providing cross-border guidance for investors applying our models in Finland, Greece, Norway, Cambodia, Ukraine, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Austria, and Poland. This ensures localized expertise, compliance, and strategic insights for every business.
