We Know SMEs.
In early 2024, our team came together, united by our shared expertise in startups, finance, and law—and by a common thread woven into our childhoods: growing up in families that owned small businesses.
Despite pursuing careers across different countries and industries, we never forgot the struggles our families faced—navigating growth, adapting to innovation, and, ultimately, planning for the future. We’ve experienced firsthand the challenges that come with running and transitioning a business.
That’s why we created Fortrada Advisory Partners—to make sure business owners like you don’t have to face these challenges alone.
Because every small business deserves thoughtful guidance, sustainable growth, and peace of mind after a lifetime of hard work

Family-owned businesses are the bedrock of Europe’s economy, accounting for over 85% of employment and 90% of GDP.

Innovative
SMEs
Businesses operating for more than a decade in search for growth opportunities
Innovative SMEs are small businesses that embrace technology to gain competitive advantage in the market.
They produce positive cashflows and often experience higher than normal growth. They are overlooked by venture capital because they don’t grow exponentially, and by LBO funds because they are seldom established.
We can help you find strategic and financial buyers, as well as raise capital.
-
We have a unique combination of financial and legal skills, allowing us to manage the transaction in house.
