Our values
Reciprocal
Reciprocity is that you treat another person the way you want to be treated yourself. Respect for mutual interests is the starting point. We do not enter into unilateral agreements in which only one party maximizes its profit. No big contracts and legal tricks. We always go for win-win situations.
Long-term oriented
Sustainability is a trend, but actually acting sustainably is a challenge. This means, among other things, that we take the tension between (short-term) financial results, employee development and environmental responsibility seriously. Only then will sustainable value creation be created, also for investors. We want to be able to account for our deals to future generations.
Transparent
Being transparent starts with accountability. We are vulnerable in this respect. Do not use a hidden agenda, but be direct and open. This means that we also admit mistakes when we make them. Transparency promotes long-term relationships.
Collaborative
Successful organizations are characterized by flexibility and innovation. You can only achieve this together. This means that everyone must be involved, there must be targeted and broad communication where contradiction is a source of inspiration. This way you build trust and commitment.
Investment focus
Branch
The Anders Invest team feels at home with technical companies. Within a production or development environment, possibly in combination with service and trade, we quickly know where the challenges are due to extensive experience. We have proven successful in shaping growth within a variety of (international) companies.
Type of entrepreneur
We are committed shareholders and think long term. We work from our values and consider it important to keep talking about this with the entrepreneur. We would like to work with enthusiastic entrepreneurs who want to work with us on value-oriented growth. That is why we do not participate in auction-like bidding situations.
Size
We focus on companies with more than 25 employees and / or a turnover of more than € 10 million. We provide risk capital from € 1 million to approximately € 50 million (including co-investment volume) to companies with an enterprise value of up to approximately € 250 million (both majority and minority interests). This means that our focus - depending on the valuation - is suitable for companies with an EBITDA level of a maximum of € 30 million. Start-ups and early stage investments do not match our focus and expertise.
Approach
Relationship
It starts with an introductory meeting, preferably at the company‘s location. When there is a click and there is mutual trust, the process starts. We immerse ourselves in your company and your market. It is important to us how you work and with whom you work. We will be involved for a long time, so the foundation must be good.
Interest
We provide venture capital - from € 1 million to € 50 million - and aim to acquire shares (minority or majority). We invest with our own resources and with money entrusted to us by third parties. In addition, we have a long investment horizon of at least 10 years.
Influence
We are looking for influence and not for power. We gain influence on business operations through our know-how and involvement. We draw up our cooperation contracts with a low legal profile. We limit ourselves to the essentials and we don‘t want to make money with legal tricks. Our extensive network also opens a number of extra doors.

On August 26, 2020, the industrial fund participation Visscher Caravelle acquired UGF Sud from Portugal. The accessory activities of UGF Industry (UGF OES) in France were also acquired. Both parts have been added to the VanProtech division of Visscher Caravelle. This division is mainly active in the production of Van Protection Panels and accessories that protect the inside of delivery vans. UGF Sud and UGF OES produce Van Protection Panels for PSA, Opel and Toyota. The combined turnover of these two activities is approximately € 5 million. UGF Sud will continue to manufacture and sell from Portugal as an independent group company. Delivery is made directly to 2 PSA factories in the region. UGF OES will be transferred to VanProtech Poland and fully integrated therein. With this acquisition, Visscher Caravelle Automotive can expand its Van Protection activities by 70%. It also means a substantial expansion of its customer portfolio within this activity, a great next step in the strategic plan to become the European market leader in Van Protection products for car manufacturers. Anders Invest stepped in 2 years ago to realize these and other growth plans together with the owner's family. The turnover of the company with 1,880 employees worldwide was € 161 million in 2019. Tiemen van Dijk, CEO of Visscher Caravelle: “As management, we are very happy with this transaction. While the crisis is still under us, Visscher Caravelle has managed to stay on course and that is what makes this transaction possible. We would like to thank all Visscher Caravelle employees for their contribution to this. ”

Investors can join the fund in new rounds of capital. Depending on the number of investment opportunities, we organize a capital round once or twice a year, whereby existing and new investors can invest in the fund. The first deposit is from € 100,000. You become a member of a cooperative, a common and fiscally attractive legal entity for funds. Normally your investment would fall within the participation exemption, even with a small interest. Withdrawal occurs in principle by selling the membership rights to another investor. Anders Invest facilitates this process and therefore does not have to sell companies or properties.
