NavInvest Cyprus supports investment promotion, capital raising and the sale of companies and assets in Cyprus. We work with business owners, investment sponsors and startup founders to prepare investment opportunities, identify suitable investors and support discussions through evaluation, due diligence and negotiation.

​

Our work connects the commercial proposition with the financial requirements and proposed transaction terms. Investors need to understand what they are being asked to finance or acquire, how value will be created, which risks they will assume and how they may ultimately realise a return.

​

Successful investment promotion begins with credible preparation, realistic expectations and owners who are ready to engage seriously with potential investors.

​

Investments we Support

​

Our investment promotion services address a range of transactions in Cyprus and internationally:

​

• Raising equity for startups and established businesses.

• Financing expansion, technology, productive capacity or new facilities.

• Introducing strategic investors or commercial partners.

• Selling companies, business units or physical assets.

• Supporting ownership transitions, including generational change in family businesses.

• Preparing investment projects for assessment by financial institutions and other funding organisations.

 

Each transaction requires a different approach. An investor acquiring an established company will assess different evidence, risks and terms from an investor financing a startup or a development project.

​

Preparing an Investment Opportunity

​

Before approaching investors, we establish a clear investment proposition. This includes:
 

• The amount of funding required and its intended use.

• The proposed financing structure and the owner’s contribution.

• The business strategy, market opportunity and competitive position.

• The financial forecast, funding requirements and expected returns.

• The valuation and the evidence supporting it.

• The ownership, governance and investor rights proposed.

• The principal risks and the measures available to manage them.

 

For a company or asset sale, we also clarify what is included in the transaction, the preferred sale structure and any obligations or dependencies that may affect the buyer.

​

We examine the assumptions behind the proposal and identify weaknesses that should be resolved before investor outreach. Where valuation expectations or transaction terms are unlikely to withstand scrutiny, we address these with the owner at the outset.

​

Documentation and Investment Readiness

​

Investment promotion depends on information that investors can assess and verify.

​

We organise the business plan, financial model, valuation analysis and presentation materials into a consistent investment case. Supporting information may include annual accounts, management reports, ownership records, title documents, material contracts, licences and other documents relevant to due diligence.

​

The depth of preparation depends on the transaction. We identify missing information, discrepancies and unresolved issues, and coordinate the work required to address them.

​

Confidential information is released in stages, with access arrangements appropriate to the sensitivity of the material and the progress of discussions.

​

Identifying and Approaching Investors

​

We develop an investor targeting strategy based on the opportunity’s sector, geography, investment size, development stage and proposed transaction structure.

​

Depending on the assignment, prospective investors may include strategic buyers, private equity firms, venture capital funds, family offices, angel investors and relevant financial institutions.

​

Our approach typically includes:

​

1. Preparing a confidential summary or anonymous investment teaser.

2. Developing a prioritised list of prospective investors.

3. Preparing investor presentations and supporting materials.

4. Conducting outreach and managing initial enquiries.

5. Coordinating meetings, information requests and management presentations.

6. Assessing expressions of interest and indicative proposals.

7. Supporting progression into due diligence and transaction negotiations.

 

We assess proposals against the owner’s wider objectives, including price, funding certainty, governance, strategic fit and the implications for the business after investment.

​

Due Diligence and Negotiation Support
 

An expression of interest or letter of intent establishes a basis for further discussion. It does not guarantee that an investment will complete.

​

We support owners and investment sponsors during due diligence by coordinating information requests, organising supporting analysis and explaining the commercial and financial assumptions behind the investment.

​

Exclusivity, where requested, should have a defined scope and duration. Its terms should reflect the investor’s seriousness, the information available and the work required to reach a decision. There is no universal due diligence period or automatic requirement to suspend all other discussions.

​

Our negotiation support addresses valuation, financing structure, governance, implementation obligations and other commercial terms. Legal advisers prepare and review the transaction agreements, with our analysis informing the commercial negotiations.

​

Timing and Execution

​

Investment promotion and capital raising commonly require several months. More complex transactions may take longer, particularly where documentation is incomplete, financing depends on third parties or material issues arise during due diligence.

​

We develop a transaction timetable with clear responsibilities and milestones. Preparation, investor evaluation, due diligence, negotiation and completion each require active coordination.

​

Owners should also plan for the demands of the process on management time and business operations. Maintaining performance during an investment process is essential to preserving the credibility of the investment case.
