Frequently asked questions
How does MBG Hamburg structure its investments?
MBG Hamburg uses typical silent participations — a non-voting, quasi-equity instrument common in German development finance. The firm does not acquire shares, take board seats, or influence day-to-day management. This structure strengthens a company's equity base and credit rating without diluting founder control, making it especially suited for family-owned Mittelstand businesses.
What is the maximum investment size MBG Hamburg can provide?
For growth financings, management buyouts and acquisitions, MBG Hamburg can deploy up to €2.5 million per project through its core development participation product. Early-stage ventures may access up to €100,000 under the Hamburg Inno Growth program, while the federally backed Mikromezzaninfonds Deutschland facility supports rounds up to €600,000.
Is MBG Hamburg a private equity fund or a government entity?
MBG Hamburg functions as a publicly backed economic development financier, not a fund manager raising discretionary capital from limited partners. It deploys capital from public and European funding sources exclusively into Hamburg-headquartered SMEs. The firm does not report fundraising cycles, carry structures, or traditional PE fund economics.
Does MBG Hamburg invest outside Hamburg?
No. MBG Hamburg's mandate requires that the investee company maintains both its legal seat and its investment site within the city of Hamburg. The firm's entire deployment activity is geographically confined to the Hamburg metropolitan area.
What types of companies does MBG Hamburg back?
MBG Hamburg targets small and medium enterprises — the Mittelstand — across all non-specified sectors, from early-stage startups to established companies seeking succession solutions. Use cases include operating-capital injections, facility relocations within Hamburg, new product market entries, and management-buyout financing.
How is MBG Hamburg related to IFB Innovationsstarter GmbH?
MBG Hamburg operates its early-stage Hamburg Inno Growth program in cooperation with IFB Innovationsstarter GmbH, the Hamburgische Investitions- und Förderbank's innovation-financing unit. The collaboration extends the city's capacity to finance pre-seed and seed-stage enterprises using public development capital.
What is the Mikromezzaninfonds Deutschland facility MBG Hamburg uses?
The Mikromezzaninfonds Deutschland is a federal program funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and the European Social Fund. MBG Hamburg deploys this facility to provide subordinated, equity-like capital up to €600,000 per financing round, specifically for prototype development, concept evaluation and market-introduction activities.
