Join Octopus Capital

You've spent years building your business.
With expertise, perseverance, and responsibility to customers, employees, and family.

A sale is therefore not a purely financial decision, it's an emotional transition.
Octopus Capital understands this. We don't buy companies. We take over responsibility.

Octopus Capital is a Belgian, entrepreneur-driven investment group that partners with owners of technical and industrial SMEs who want to transfer part or all of their business. We don't step in to quickly restructure or resell, but to continue building on what you've created.

Octopus Capital treats your life's work with respect. Your company isn't an "asset" to us, but a story, a culture, and a team. This remains true even after the acquisition.

We also offer continuity for employees and clients. We don't believe in sudden course changes, aggressive cutbacks, or anonymous fund logic.

You remain involved, if you wish: as an advisor, director, or, preferably, as a co-entrepreneur. At your own pace, with your expertise, without pressure.

At Octopus Capital, there's no predetermined exit date: We don't work with a ticking clock. Growth and stability trump speed.

We invest our own capital, which we created ourselves and can truly appreciate. We take the time to thoroughly understand the company and provide strategic and operational support where needed.

We allow management to operate autonomously. Furthermore, we use bank financing wisely, not aggressively. We believe that an acquisition should never suffer from its financing.

Every collaboration is customized.
We don't rely on standard models. We don't follow spreadsheet logic that overrides the narrative.

You might consider partnering with Octopus Capital if you're not looking for a traditional private equity firm where financial targets are imposed, exit dates are defined, and profit optimization often takes precedence over the company and its employees. Furthermore, you're not looking for a search fund with a new external CEO. You are, however, looking for a reliable partner who wants to continue your business with care.

You can rest assured that you can work with us with confidence if you recognize yourself in one or more of the following situations: Internal succession is difficult or there's no family succession, but you want the company to "find a good home." You can count on us to help ensure this.

Are you an entrepreneur who wants to capitalize on their life's work but still wants to remain involved in operational management for a while? No problem, we can make that happen. We can also reassure you if you're an entrepreneur who wants to see financial returns for a second time from the hard work of partnering with Octopus Capital. Octopus Capital is ready for entrepreneurs who need a sounding board with partners who speak the same language.

A good company deserves a future that stays true to its values, respects its people, and continues to grow steadily.

That's what Octopus Capital stands for. Octopus Capital isn't an investor or buyer who closes the deal, but a loyal partner who continues to write the story.

Octopus Capital is happy to work with you and offers the necessary support for the purchase of your future company. Our ideal candidate stands firmly on his/her feet and is technically skilled, is open to strategic advice and aspires to jointly expand our collective activities.
