Point Capital

What Point Capital does

Point Capital Oy is an independent, privately-held boutique corporate finance advisory firm headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, founded in 2012. The firm specializes in four interconnected practices: M&A advisory (Yrityskaupat), capital arrangements (Pääomajärjestelyt), structural/restructuring advisory (Rakennejärjestelyt), and strategic consulting (Strateginen neuvonanto). It serves Finnish and Nordic enterprise clients across energy (utilities, district heating, renewable power generation), industrial/manufacturing (including machinery and materials handling), ICT, and Horeca sectors, advising owners and boards on transactions, financing, and corporate restructuring.

The firm's underlying offering is human advisory expertise rather than technology. Point Capital delivers project-based, customized engagements with no proprietary software platform, AI tooling, or productized IP; differentiation rests on the experience of its advisors (most prominently Managing Partner Petri Ojala), independence from financiers to avoid conflicts of interest, and an extensive domestic and international network for sourcing counterparties. Reference mandates span medium- and large-ticket deals, including the €211M sale of Oulu ICT Oy's stake in DNA Oy, the ~€35M acquisition of a 43.33% Pohjolan Voima Oy stake from Kemira, and Metso Oyj's acquisition of EPT Engineering Services in India.

Point Capital generates revenue through professional advisory fees on a project-by-project basis rather than standardized or productized pricing. Pricing and engagement terms are not publicly disclosed, consistent with B2B advisory norms. Distribution is via direct engagement, professional referrals, and content marketing (a Finnish-language blog on M&A best practices), with a clear recruitment page signaling intent to grow the team beyond its current boutique size. The firm is independently owned with no disclosed parent, institutional investor, or external capital structure.

Core offering

Point Capital is an independent advisory and execution firm providing customized consulting on corporate transactions and capital arrangements. Its services span domestic and international M&A (acquisitions, sales, joint ventures, mergers), tailored financing solutions and refinancing, corporate restructuring in challenging situations, and strategic consulting for owners. Each engagement is project-based and tailored to the client rather than delivered as a standardized product.

Product overview

Point Capital is a professional services firm offering advisory services for corporate transactions and financing arrangements, not a software product company. The firm operates as a single unified service offering centered around four interconnected advisory practices: Yrityskaupat (Corporate Acquisitions) provides transaction advisory for M&A activities; Pääomajärjestelyt (Capital Arrangements) handles financing solutions; Rakennejärjestelyt (Structural Arrangements) addresses restructuring needs; and Strateginen neuvonanto (Strategic Consulting) supports long-term strategic objectives. These services are delivered by a small team of advisors and are tailored to each client's specific needs.
