What Corpfin Capital does

Corpfin Capital Asesores, S.A., SGECR is the longest-running private equity manager in the Iberian Peninsula, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Madrid. The firm raises institutional funds and deploys majority or co-control equity stakes of €15–45M into mid-sized Iberian companies with revenues ≥ €30M and EBITDA of €5–25M (target enterprise value €50–100M), excluding financial services and real estate. Across six consecutive funds the firm has raised more than €1.2 billion, maintaining a disciplined fund size of approximately €300M per vehicle and a four-to-seven year investment horizon. Active portfolio companies include Grupo Montplet (ethanol), Agrosana (agricultural inputs), Grupo Versus (civil-service exam preparation), Grúas Fuentes (roadside assistance), Kids&Us (English language teaching), Mediterráneo (property management), Vítaly (occupational health and safety), JR Sabater (vinegars and syrups), and Babaria (cosmetics).

The firm's core product is fund management combined with active value-creation advisory to founders and management teams, delivered through a partnership model that emphasizes governance professionalization, sector consolidation (Buy & Build), international expansion, and ESG integration. Supporting infrastructure includes an LP-facing investor portal and Article 8 (SFDR) fund registration for Fund V (2019) and Fund VI (2025) with the Spanish regulator CNMV; the firm has been a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment since 2012. There is no proprietary technology product — the platform is relationship-driven rather than technology-driven, with marketing centered on the corporate website, news/PR, ESG disclosures, and direct outreach to Iberian founders and family-owned businesses.

Revenue is generated primarily through traditional private equity economics: recurring management fees on committed and invested capital across the six funds, plus episodic carried interest realized on successful exits (documented divestments include Palex Medical, Grupo 5, Dimoldura, Barna, and Alannia). The institutional client base comprises limited partners in each successive fund (Spanish and broader European institutional investors), while deal-flow originates from direct relationships with Iberian entrepreneurs, family-owned businesses, and management teams seeking succession solutions, growth capital, or consolidation partners. Pricing and LP-level economics are negotiated privately and not publicly disclosed.
