Independent corporate finance advisory · Zagreb · since 2008
Euris Capital Partners advises owners, boards and investors across South-East Europe on mergers and acquisitions, financing and strategic decisions. Senior attention on every mandate, from the first conversation to closing.
Four disciplines, one team. We take mandates where our judgement changes the outcome, and we stay involved until the transaction is closed and the financing is in place.
We run the full sale or acquisition process: valuation, transaction structure, information memorandum, data room, investor outreach, negotiation and coordination of legal, tax and audit advisers through to signing.
We design and negotiate financing that fits the business rather than the other way round: acquisition finance, refinancing, recapitalisation and debt restructuring, with direct negotiation with banks and funds.
Financial and strategic due diligence, business plans and valuations that stand up in front of investors and lenders. We identify where value is created and where it leaks, and build the plan around that.
Where a transaction or a turnaround needs hands on the wheel, we take operational responsibility: steering the workstreams, the advisers and the timetable, and improving profitability and cost base along the way.

The firm
Intentionally small. Every mandate is led by a partner who has sat on the other side of the table, as owner, CFO and investor.
Euris Capital Partners was founded in Zagreb in 2008 as an independent corporate finance adviser. We work for domestic and international clients across South-East Europe: family-owned companies, groups, financial investors and institutions.
Our team combines international investment-banking experience in corporate finance, transaction services and valuation with operating experience in running companies. That combination shows in the advice: realistic about what a business can carry, precise about how a deal should be structured, and persistent in getting it done.
How we work
No lending book, no fund to place. Our only interest is the client's outcome.
The people you meet at the first meeting run the process to the end.
Long relationships with owners, banks and funds in Croatia and the wider region.
Most of our work is never announced. The references below are those our clients have agreed to share.
