Building what lasts.

Lingg Capital acquires healthy B2B companies in the Netherlands — from succession to management buy-outs. As an entrepreneurial fund, we offer business owners continuity, and companies the strength to keep growing.

Entrepreneurial capital with staying power — focused on lasting value creation, not quick wins.

Lingg Capital acquires healthy Dutch B2B companies and develops them further together with founders and management. We take the time to truly get to know a business, and we invest alongside: our interests are aligned with those of owners and investors.

What an owner has built over many years deserves a successor who respects it: preserving name, culture and people — while adding the resources and drive to take the next step.

Succession

For owners without a successor within the family or the organisation: continuity for the company, its people and its customers.

Management buy-out

We back incumbent management in acquiring the company where they make the difference every day.

Management buy-in

Together with an experienced external executive, we acquire a company and take it into its next phase.

Partial exit

The owner sells a majority stake, remains involved as a shareholder and shares in the company’s further growth.

Buy-and-build

From a strong platform company, we grow through targeted add-on acquisitions in fragmented markets.

Healthy, profitable companies with a strong position in their market.

We look for businesses where a founder or management team has laid solid foundations, with room for professionalisation and further growth.

Not every criterion is absolute — a good company always merits a conversation.
