We position the equity story, prepare materials and dataroom, run outreach and diligence, maintain competitive tension and negotiate SPA terms.

Project Finance
We structure and place non-recourse or limited-recourse debt for first-of-a-kind and early commercial assets. We build the project model, allocate risks, run lender cases and coordinate technical and legal workstreams to financial close. Typical facilities are €20–100m with tailored sculpting and covenants. Moreover, we coordinate with EU funding programmes, including the EU Innovation Fund, to complement debt packages with non-repayable support.
Venture Debt
Commercial advisory
We arrange venture debt from the European Investment Bank and other reputable lenders for revenue-growing, investor-backed companies. We calibrate facility size, tenor and warrant package, prepare lender materials, run a competitive process and negotiate terms to closing.
Whether it is a Go-To-Market strategy for expansion outside Scandinavia or a Market-Entry plan for companies entering the region, we combine financial acumen with commercial advisory, helping with sales enablement and execution to support the equity story and investor confidence.
Equity Advisory
We advise founders, boards, and shareholders on equity positioning and capital raises outside a full M&A process. This includes minority stake sales, growth equity rounds, pre-exit restructuring, and management equity programmes. Our mandates typically range from EUR 5m to EUR 50m, drawing on our broad network of institutional and strategic investors across Europe.
Who We Are
NICF is the corporate finance arm of the Nordic Innovators Group, which was founded in Denmark in 2013.
We advise SMEs and large corporates within M&A, project finance, venture debt and commercial enablement.
Execution first: disciplined preparation, competitive processes and board-ready deliverables.
Our mandate includes M&A and project finance transactions ranging between EUR 20-100m, with a specific focus and investor network in Enterprise Software, B2B SaaS and Renewable Energy. -- sectors where equity structure and timing are often as value-critical as the deal itself.
