Cyprus Capital Partners ("CyCap") is the first dedicated private equity firm in Cyprus. CyCap applies the principles of private equity investment strategy to growth and expansion opportunities within SMEs in Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean. Our International experience and understanding of investment strategy, combined with deep local knowledge, offers a critical nexus between the immediate opportunities for value investing and the more lucrative opportunities for longer-term value creation. CyCap believes that SMEs offer dramatic opportunities for equity investment into an increasingly strategic region with endemic constraints on available liquidity for capital investment into growth expansion. The opportunity is to fill the liquidity gap. Cyprus has exceeded international rating agency and IMF expectations in the stabilisation of fiscal finances, and is leading the region in economic development and growth. An internationally attractive English law heritage, coupled with EU Directives and transparency, Cyprus offers a legal and corporate jurisdiction with strategic advantages from which to invest in growth and expansion across a region with increasing importance to the EU and the wider international community.
