Luceiro Capital Partners
Through the closed-end investment vehicle Luceiro Capital Partners I, we work with the capital of professional investment partners, including institutional funds, family offices and private investors, with a global reach and united with the objective of acquiring majority stakes in private companies located in Spain or Portugal; to subsequently get involved in the active management of the company and the creation of long-term value.
We differentiate ourselves from other investment models by offering entrepreneurs a flexible solution of capital and experience that allows them to make an orderly transition of their business in which their legacy and values are maintained. We offer the current owner the possibility of generating a tangible return on their effort or over time through a sale that generates liquidity, with the peace of mind of a continuity plan, and always with a quick and discreet decision-making process.
We provide a flexible capital and expertise solution to family-owned companies and institutional shareholders seeking a partner to help them provide continuity to their project and ensure a successful transition to a new stage of growth.
We bring operational, financial and strategic value to our partners. Our team and performance capacity make us different.
