Where entrepreneurial ambition meets institutional rigour.
At Novadvice, we back exceptional entrepreneurs who acquire and lead profitable SMEs across Europe and North America. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Brussels, our NovEtA strategy - Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition - brings together institutional rigour and entrepreneurial commitment to create lasting value.
Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) is an entrepreneurship model in which an experienced professional raises capital to search for, acquire, and lead a profitable existing SME — rather than starting from scratch. NovEtA is Novadvice's dedicated ETA investment strategy, active across Europe and North America since 2020.
Differentiated Investor Experience
Novadvice offers entrepreneurs, family offices and HNWIs a transparent, aligned journey into ETA and search fund assets, deal by deal, with 100% capital drawdown at subscription, and with active involvement on every portfolio company board.
Impact-Driven Governance
Novadvice occupies a board seat at every portfolio company and stays operationally engaged from acquisition through exit. Accountability for outcomes, for shareholders, for teams, and for the communities SMEs serve is at the heart of our governance model.
Disciplined process. Collaborative partnership. Long-term impact.
Disciplined
Structure and method drive performance. We select carefully, execute with consistency, and hold ourselves to demanding operational and financial standards at every stage.
Collaborative partnership
We stand side-by-side with investors, business owners, and entrepreneurs — bringing together operational know-how, network reach, and a multi-disciplinary team to build resilient businesses.
Our Vision for the Future
Novadvice's ambition is to empower a new generation of entrepreneurs to acquire SMEs facing succession challenges, delivering returns for investors, preserving legacies, and giving searchers a path to ownership. We combine data-driven analysis, strategic insight, and active board involvement to ensure every portfolio company benefits from strong governance and operational support.
Investing In The Future Of Entrepreneurship
We invest in visionary entrepreneurs, empowering them to acquire, grow, and lead successful businesses that create long-term sustainable value globally.
