What is the best way to raise 25M EUR?

besides private debt, have you considered family offices? They are sitting on a ton of money and lots of them are not able to find enough eligible investments according to their risk appetite and diversification model.
I had a feeling 😉
I suggest reading this: Four types of crowdfunding for startups””and how to choose one.
Even if the opportunity was excellent and I wanted to invest in it, the "system" would NOT allow me to invest €25M (unless you were politically connected and privileged and had the financial backing of institutional investors). It's just the reality of 2024! 🙄
PS. I can purchase €25M of JEPI tomorrow at JP Morgan Chase (Private Banking & Wealth Management | J.P. Morgan Private Bank U.S.), but if I want to send €5K to my elderly aunts (+90 years old) in Europe for them to purchase groceries and medications, my accounts would be frozen, and I would have to submit so much paperwork it will blow your mind stupi#21

That is how I meet my ex-CFO. He told me that better to not go with IPO and nearly robbed me. However he opened me eyes on a true value of my company and currently I have to complete several more steps, which suppose to increase valuation significantly. Seems most feasible way to do it is bank loans, however local banks don't to hear about me buying another company for 10M or to finance a new factory in India for 2M. Swiss banks easily giving me a 1M mortgage for office via email, but if I am asking same for factory abroad, nobody even want to talk about it.
Thank you very much for a valuable suggestion.
Did you tried to work with them before? What are they asking as collateral?
I tried personally with banks, but my ex-CFO were connected to family offices which were ready to provide a loan. However I found a conditions suspicious like: 50% shares as collateral, nearly 3 times larger amount of money, with 2 times shorter repayment date. For me it looked like a trap to take over my business.
As I mentioned earlier I am not looking for equity based investments. Business is profitable and growing steadily. With a loan I would be able to acquire other companies, what would rapidly increase my consolidated financial statements, which eventually would increase company valuation.
If he is not willing to offer equity then bootstrapping is the only option when banks dont want to finance internationally.
Maybe np
Maybe such a thing could work. Fact is that most financing nowadays comes from friends/family/crowd.
Currently I am looking to finance new factory in China. I have a 3 years rent free premises from government near to Nanjing. I am looking to purchases CNC equipment similar to which I have at factory in Europe. Until complete product registration will not be completed in China, I am planning to export 100% to my primarily factory in Europe, what will allow me to reduce shortage and free up machines.
For China project I am looking for the loan 2M EUR or 2.2M USD which will save me a couple of years compare to self-financing and will increase my production capacity. Interest rate up to 10%. Term not less then 3 years, but not longer then 5 years. Loan required for Swiss company, which is shareholder of Chinese. Possible to receive a loan to our subsidiary in UAE. I believe I could accept cryptocurrency in Switzerland and payback for the loan on the monthly basis to borrower's bank account.
Hi OP, there is a specialized medical devides company in Spain (unique in its field, exporting to Japan, US, Middle East, India), that might be of interest for a takeover. The owner is old and has no real succession plan, and I believe I might persuade him to engage in talks if that's something you're interested in.

@2fire Further to my comment above, I have in my network a private equity firm, well regarded in Europe as a leading industrial partner for profitable ventures, which I think would be a good fit for you. They are reasonable on their minimum ticket and allow for some room of manoeuvre in the terms and conditions, and are a slid source for growth before divestment.
Drop me a line if you'd like to discuss further.
