Artá Capital

What they do

Founded in 2008, Artá Capital is a leading independent private equity firm based in Madrid, specializing in mid-market buyouts and growth capital investments across the Iberian Peninsula. It transitioned into a fully independent entity in 2021 after a management buyout. The firm is known for its flexible investment strategy, taking majority and significant minority stakes to help companies professionalize, expand internationally, and execute add-on acquisitions. Artá Capital builds strong partnerships, repositioning traditional businesses towards sustainable, higher value-added models.

What they look for

Artá Capital backs resilient businesses with strong competitive advantages, proven cash-flow generation capabilities, and experienced management teams. They focus on mid-market Iberian companies with an Enterprise Value (EV) between €50M and €350M. They target leading companies with protected business models, SMEs with strong growth potential, and family-owned or founder-led businesses needing a partner for growth, shareholder replacement, or corporate spin-offs. They require a controlling influence (board representation and strategic input) independently of the actual equity stake held.
