Profinanz Capital Partners

What Profinanz Capital Partners does

Profinanz Capital Partners GmbH is an independent German finance boutique headquartered in Baldham near Munich (registered at Amtsgericht München, HRB 212342) that operates as an intermediary between capital seekers and capital providers. The firm targets the German Mittelstand SME sector in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), serving companies with annual revenues between EUR 25 million and EUR 500 million across three core service lines: corporate finance, real estate financing (project volumes EUR 10–200 million), and M&A advisory (transaction volumes EUR 10–500 million). Service is delivered through a curated network of capital providers including banks, insurance companies, pension funds, credit funds, mezzanine funds, investment banks, and family offices, and the firm employs a standardized three-step process — financing inquiry form, 48-hour 'quick check,' and fast payout through pre-vetted investment partners.

The firm's product surface spans the full capital structure, from equity, mezzanine, and silent partnerships through Schuldscheindarlehen, bonds, sale-and-lease-back, asset-based lending, bridge financing, order pre-financing, purchase financing, and developer (Bauträgerdarlehen) financing. Underlying technology is limited to a corporate website with online inquiry form and standard web analytics (IONOS hosting, Google Analytics/Maps) — there is no proprietary technology platform or software product. Marketing channels are predominantly relationship-based, relying on direct referrals, professional networks, and industry events within the DACH financial community rather than paid digital advertising. Three named customer testimonials reference real estate (Christina K.), general corporate (Hanns W.), and hotel-sector (Thomas Q.) financings, illustrating segment breadth rather than reliance on a single end-market.

The business model is transaction-fee based: revenue is generated through success-based arranging fees on closed deals, with pricing project-specific and negotiated per engagement. Per company disclosures, approximately EUR 750 million in capital and financing was successfully placed over the last three fiscal years, and the firm maintains an annual financing capacity of EUR 350–400 million through its investment partner network. The company is led by Geschäftsführer (CEO) Jochen Ofner, who brings more than three decades of finance-sector experience. Profinanz Capital Partners GmbH is a privately held German GmbH with no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, external funding rounds, or institutional investors, operating as a relationship-driven independent boutique.
