Invest in Swiss SME Lending

CapiWell introduces Switzerland’s first Multi-Asset Private Capital Platform, giving both private and institutional investors the opportunity to access a diverse set of asset classes, including SME Lending. Alongside growth-stage startups and real estate shares, SME lending takes centre stage as an essential driver of Switzerland’s economic vitality. At the heart of our philosophy is a simple commitment: to democratise access to trusted, ESG-aligned private capital and to unite investors and mission-driven businesses in building a sustainable future.

Through SME lending, both private individuals and institutional investors can offer Swiss companies the short-term financing they need to optimise cashflow, prefinance orders, or support day-to-day operations. In return, investors benefit from fixed returns and predictable repayment schedules, typically over six to twelve months. This creates an investment opportunity that combines attractive yield potential with meaningful economic impact — a stable, fixed-income alternative that not only underpins Switzerland’s economic backbone but also accelerates the growth and development of its SMEs.
